I believe all these 3 cameras are capable of producing excellent pictures

question: How was the camera?, context: After researching the internet and visiting camera stores for hands-on experience, I chose D700 without regret. There are many people out there trying to make the decision of the 3 wonderful cameras. I can only share my analysis based on my need and experience, as an avid amateur photographer.D600: the solid pro-sumer body feels the same as D7000, which I also own. Nikon transplanted the FX heart into a DX body. It is very natural for D7000 owners to upgrade to D600 for the ease of use on functions and layouts. However, I dislike the AF system concentrating mainly in the center, which can be challenging when trying to focus under certain situations. In addition, the problem of the occasional oil spell/dust on the sensor issue can be an indication of quality control problem of this model. I have tried to clean camera sensors before; it is far from easy to do so, wet or dry method. Therefore, most professionals dissuade the general public to do so and recommend leaving the job to the authorized dealers. Believe me, it is beyond annoying when you see spots on your pictures; and sometimes the spots appear in the place that can be very hard to correct.D800: nice pro heavy body with a huge 36mp sensor. Upgrading from a DX, I can not justify spending (jumping) thus much on such a powerful camera. Instead, as most professional photographers suggest, I will spend more on quality lenses, which usually out-last the cameras. If you own D800, you'd better have pro lenses. Otherwise, all the "defects" will show up in pictures with its huge and powerful sensor. In addition, D800 also has its own quality control issues, which is back focusing. Also, as an amateur, I tend to shoot more pictures than the pros, making sure I get the pictures I want. Therefore, I end up with a good number of pictures after an assignment and it takes time to process them. I am not ready to store (space-wise) and process (time-wise) big files from the D800 yet... maybe much later.D700: I picked this "old" camera over the two new models. It is a pro body, weather sealed, similar weight to D800. The layout is not too different from D7000 (thank goodness!) and easy to get used to. Since it is discontinued, the price dropped to the level that it is quite affordable, especially used ones, though be careful with the "used" condition, as it varies A LOT! This is the trial-and-true cameras, a work horse for many professionals. Despite having an older sensor, D700 still can produce exceptional images with wonderful sharpness and color rendition. Pairing it with the right lenses, you get "gallery" quality photos/prints. I don't worry too much of the "small" 12 mp sensor. As an amateur, most of us don't print over 2'x3' anyway. Its renowned focus system is outstanding, right on everything every time I shoot!I care about the image quality (what my eyes can see), body built (how my hands feel), and the focus system (the first and foremost ingredient in sharp image). I believe all these 3 cameras are capable of producing excellent pictures. Currently, the D700 fits my need, my budget, and the overall quality I am looking for. After all, all the equipments are "tools" at best. It is the photographer that takes good or bad pictures. A soft but well-composed picture is not as bad as a sharp yet meaningless one.

just plug and go

question: What happens to the ports if you plug it in?, context: Switches are a big seller of mine and useful in many situations. They are the simplest networking device there is -- no setup, no configuration, just plug and go.This is used when you have a device that does the routing (a router than gives IP addresses) and you don't have enough ports for all of your wired devices. You can also use it in a situation where you have one computer jack in an office or room, but more than one device.I used a network cable to plug from the router to the new switch and plugged in my devices into the switch and they all instantly worked. If you are expecting a speed increase, make sure that your computer has a gigabit ethernet port -- most business computers have had that for quite a few years now and I'm not sure what they are putting in home computers.I also have installed more than a dozen of this exact switch (beginning in December 2011) in many locations without one failure so far. Before I tried TP-Link, I bought a Netgear and it failed at 13 months. I bought a TrendNET and it failed after one week.This is what I buy now, and I would recommend for you.

The colors still look great

question: What about color?, context: So far I am very satisfied with the monitors. These are actually my first IPS and I can say I am simply amazed and the picture. Before I go on let me post my settings because out of the box settings are the WORST and will make you want to return the item.Splendid: TheaterSharpness: 45Trace Free: 80ASCR: ONBrightness: 90Contrast: 78Saturation: 70Color Temp: User Mode with all colors maxedSkin Tone: NaturalSmart View: OffWith those settings everything should look great IMO. I actually bought 3 monitors because I am running SLI configuration for programming and for gaming. Because I have such a small desk, at the moment, I had to angle the monitors 75 degrees from the center monitor. So if you can picture that in your mind, I want to say I have NO problem seeing anything. The colors still look great and gaming is just as fun. Only problem (this is not the monitors fault) is my head hurts from turning lol, just wanted to share that :PSome might ask if the 21 inch is too small. I can say I was worried about this too because I was using my PS3 3d display beforehand and can say that text is a fraction of a bit smaller. Unless you have really bad eyes, these monitors are perfect size. I also like the size because I have heard the bigger you go, the more you can see the LED backlight. In my case I can say on a totally black screen I see MINOR backlighting; nothing that would make the screen look awful, don't let that turn you away from the monitor.Some reviewers have had bad outcomes with dead pixels and what not, I bought 3. Not one of them has had any problem except for user error. This user error was I thought all 3 monitors were dead because when I "touched" the power button it didn't respond. Don't fall victim like I did, the power button is under the screen, it is not a fancy touch sensitive button like I thought, again user error. You have plenty of connection options except display port but that is alright because I prefer DVI and HDMI so it really is user preference. No speakers but again doesn't bother me, I use a headset. Lastly, the design is sleek but the stand feels cheap. Just touching the monitor a little and you will notice a bouncing effect (monitor rocks back and forth). This could have been made better but I don't plan on moving them or touching them so not a big deal breaker.So overall I am very happy with the purchase. The picture looks great at all angles, the frame rate if perfect (even for hardcore gaming, tested BF3 with ultra-settings, SLI 670s, and all three monitors in surround mode and it was PERFECT/BREATHTAKING), and the price couldn't be any more appealing for IPS. You will easily tell the difference from TN to IPS and you will never go back. Thank you for reading the review, if you would like to know more and any questions PLEASE leave a comment. I tend to check my amazon comments often and will do what I can to better help you.Posted pictures, comment if you need more or anything else. I also want to update that the first thing I did when I got these monitors was run over to YouTube and play a Dead Pixel Color Test. This allowed me to check every pixel and confirmed that all 3 monitors were flawless.

This allowed me to check every pixel and confirmed that all 3 monitors were flawless.

keys had become too soft and they would fail to type the letters when I hit them half of the time

question: What happened to your keyboard?, context: On my old keyboard the keys had become too soft and they would fail to type the letters when I hit them half of the time. I didn't have too much extra money to spend so I was looking through Amazon's site and found this keyboard and mouse and decided to try them. The first time I used the keyboard I knew this was the right one for me, the keys have a crisp feeling and the lazer mouse works great. If I need another keyboard and mouse I will return and buy another one just like this one.

Ok folks, I normally don't write reviews but

question: How is it the bass?, context: Ok folks, I normally don't write reviews but figured I'd help someone out who was in my shoes. I'm a cross fit / weightlifter who listens to all music, but primarily hip-hop / R&B; during workouts, running, cycling, etc. I was in a debacle trying to determine whether to get these S4s or the Bose IE2 (StayHear tips). I've heard reviews claiming that each one is better, so I initially bought the Klipsch, then decided to try the Bose. Here's what I found:PROS:- Overall the sound is great, the highs are good, mids are decent, bass is just OK --- not impressive (which is why I give it 4 stars and not 5), I'd say the sound is better than the IE2s.- Noise-cancelling - when I put these in, I don't want to hear any other sounds (e.g., the gym, other people, noise, etc), I want to be submersed in my own world. For this reason, these are way better than the Bose IE2's, which ARE NOT NOISE CANCELLING. When I tried the IE2's, I couldn't concentrate on my workout as I still heard normal noises, chatting, weights dropping, the A/C, etc. For this reason alone, I am selling my 5 day old IE2's for a loss.CONS:- Bass is not impressive, it's just decent. My old Sony's had better bass.- Although it comes with 3 sizes, the silicone is just a bit awkward and doesn't fit in my ear securely, so i sometime have to adjust it while running or doing other activities. In this regard, the Bose StayHear tips would must betterHope this helps.

The screen is very bright and vibrant, its processor is very fast. Video playback is excellent. I find myself using this tablet for everything from surfing the web to creation of documents. Another plus point is that is has Android ICS on it, which in my opinion is way better than the previous versions. I like the metallic styling, seems more durable than the plastic casings most tablets have. The touchscreen is very responsive & quick

question: How is the touch screen?, context: This tablet has exceeded my expectations. The screen is very bright and vibrant, its processor is very fast. Video playback is excellent.

Another plus point is that is has Android ICS on it, which in my opinion is way better than the previous versions. I like the metallic styling, seems more durable than the plastic casings most tablets have. The touchscreen is very responsive & quick. The battery life is excellent, I can use it almost all day with a full charge, this include watching lots of videos. I don't care too much for the camera on it, it's lacking, but I dind't buy the tablet because of the camera so it's not a big disadvantage for me. I was frustrated when I found out the difficulties involved with getting picasa albums to sync with the gallery, but once I got it to sync it's been no problems since. I really don't know how I got it to sync, but I went into the gallery and saw that my picasa albums were synced. The keyboard is also nice, its keys well space for my big fingers & paired with the very responsive touch screen make it second nature to type on, to me it feels almost like typing on my desktop keyboard. I can't wait to find out the endurance of this tablet, I'm hoping it will last a long time.03/14/2014: After a year I'm still pleased with this purchase. The tablet works just as good as it did when I got it. The battery life is great, I use this tablet more than my PC. My only gripe with it is sometimes it's slow to come out of sleep mode, other than that I'm overly pleased. I'm thinking of purchasing about 3-4 more.

the computer down to about 10 wpm because of design of this particular keyboard

question: What do you think of the artistic design?, context: I ordered this product on Jan 2, 2012 from Amazon. My first impressions upon taking it out of the box were that it looked different than the pictures shown. After comparing it to the product pictures I confirmed that what I ordered was a slightly different unit than what is shown. I have posted a picture so that you can see what is different in the one I ordered compared to the original product picture & the pictures of other owners. Specifically: The USB dongle is full size, not a mini like in others pictured. The buttons below the touch pad are completely different than other pictured models. Keys are also flat & clear glossy finger print magnet plastic material, not convex matte finish like seen in other models pictured.After trying this product out for a little over 20 mins navigating the internet and doing some video playback my first impressions are that I should have invested in another (but full size) keyboard. The biggest problem I have with this product is that it will go into some sort of sleep mode (I assume to conserve battery life) which takes about 10 seconds before it will reconnect with the computer and start showing the mouse swipes & keyboard inputs. This was very frustrating while surfing the net & watching YouTube videos. I have no idea the length of time before it would power down the signal but just to give you an idea this would happen after watching a 2 min YouTube video.At first I thought it was neat how small the keyboard was but after trying to type on it I've grown frustrated with typing on the thing. Having been raised knowing how to type on the keyboard I find myself being frustrated going from 70+ wpm on the computer down to about 10 wpm because of design of this particular keyboard. The keys are grid shaped, not offset like a normal keyboard and because of the touch pad on the right it's not as easy to type on as say an Iphone because you'r right thumb has to reach considerably further to hit any of the keys. So if you're thinking that you text fast & this wouldn't be a problem consider the inch of dead space between your thumb & the keys.Lastly, & probably the most important is signal quality. I purchased this with intentions of using it for an HTPC. Sitting about 10 ft away from the computer I found that it drops keystrokes about every 5th input. The trackpad is also something highly left to be desired. I first used this on my gaming machine that I sit about 2 ft away from and noticed a slight laggy input when using the trackpad. I was a little leery that the signal was that bad sitting so close to the input but I decided to still give it a chance and plugged it into my HTPC. Increasing the distance between the USB dongle & the keyboard only increases the lag of using the trackpad.So in review: 1 star was taken off for not receiving exactly what I was shown in the product pictures. 1 star was taken off for the poor signal quality of this item even at close ranges, and 1 star is taken off for the lack of distance this allows you to have between the PC and the keyboard (in the product description it states this works within 30M which I assume they mean 30 meters. Unfortunately in a 12x12 room with nothing between me and the PC I was having signals cut out constantly. This room also has no wireless internet connection & no wireless phones).

the speakers are bigger than what i thought

question: How is the speaker like?, context: These sound like cheap computer speakers and also they have like two cables running along the back. two cables through the back into the computer but the speakers are bigger than what i thought. Wouldnt recommend or buy again. Spend the extra money and get better sound and build.

The unit is really tiny. All I want to do is listen to books. The screen is small enough to see easily but doesn't take up space so the buttons are larger.2. Great Sound-This unit sounds as good or better than my Ipod.3. Simple Navigation buttons-Took less than 5 minutes to learn.4. On off button which I use as Pause too. It is well located to the top directly over where the headset plugs in, I can find it by feel and don't need to see it. So it is convenient to find an use. When you turn off the book while running it comes back on at the same point still running. The time to turn on and start playing the book is less than 5 seconds. I've found that this feature is key to my enjoyment of using the unit with Audible. No fumbling through the other buttons to find pause.5. Convenient Lock mechanism, which I never use, just push the home button for 5 seconds. No cumbersome hard to find slide mechanisms. Where this unit blows away the Ipod units is that there is no touch sensitive wheel. Everything is push button. Without that sensitive wheel, I've never had to lock the unit. I had an Ipod which used the wheel which is sensitive so I always had to lock it. Big pain in the neck.7.Sound controls are on the side, again push button and stiff enough not to trigger by accident. I prefer this to the ipod system.8. It organizes each book into it's own separate folder so it's an extra click but your books are organized together9. When part 1 of a book ends it automatically go to the next part.But won't open a new book. This is advantageous because if you fall asleep with Audible running than it runs to the end of the part of the book you are on, than the next part (if you aren't on the last part) and than it goes to sleep. This can reduce battery drain.IE listen before going to bed.10. Uses the standard Mini USB connector (the one that's bigger) so you can charge and Sync with the standard one used on many devices. I just bought 2Technocel MV9MCDUO-SP OEM Sprint Dual USB Port Car Charger - Blackalong with 2Dual Micro USB / Mini USB Splitter Cable - Charge up two Devices (One Micro and One Mini USB) Once From a Single USB Port - Ideal for mp3 players, Digital Cameras, Smartphones (Android, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung), GPS, and More. This gives me 2 micro USB and 1 Mini USB in my Autos. With 1 of the Micro USB being rapid charge. I love devices with standard Micro USB connection. By the way I have aDMMR: Dual mini USB and Micro USB to USB Sync and Charge Cable (Retractable)at my office and it charged and transferred data flawlessly with this unit.I have a mini usb connection at home that I use for my Card Reader also transferred data and charged it. Hurray. It's standard Micro USB.12. Fast Forward and Rewind are as good if not better than the Ipod and convenient. Actually the Forward and reverse start slowly, than speed up the more time the button is held. This is advantageous because it allows for both slight f forward/Reverse and extreme f forward/reverse14.Expandable Memory using Micro SDHC. It was just so inexpensive I bought a 8gb MicroSDHC on Amazon for $6.00+ delivered8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC Memory Cardthis one is class 4 don't buy the class 2 might be too slow. With how cheap memory is it's better to buy the 4gb unit and upgrade instead of the 8gb unit. 4 gb does hold alot of books.15. Convenient Eject system from computer- I kept looking for the eject on my Windows Machine to disconnect. Finally I went to the manual. Turns out that as long as you aren't synchronizing you just pull the Unit out with no damage. Very convenient.15. You can listen to it while it's charging.The glitches:1. Battery life. Audible Playback only at fairly high volume using headphones. I only got around 7 hours. my Ipod Nano gets 14 hours. I had to take 2 stars off because that would be a deal breaker for many.2. For Audible can only use the Audible Manager.Remember Audible books are DRM Protected so you need the Audible Manager to decrypt and put on the Clip+3. Their is no way to organize the order of the books. It goes in Alphabetical Order (If I'm wrong please tell me how to do it in comments.4. Itunes tried to take over so I had to remove ITunes but I think that there is a setting or way that I could disableItunes from turning on automatically. Also my original default was through Itunes. Just be aware there may be issues withItunes and Audible Manager on your machine. Probably you can get around it.5. The books are grouped by Books. So if you are in part 1 of a book it'll play part 2 but won't go to the next book.Since it doesnt' go automatically. You have to stop and fiddle with it. This could be inconvenient for example if you are driving. Unfortunately once the book is organized on the machine their is no way to change the order. I have some books where it decided to put the Part 2 at the top and part 1 below. I tried accessing the drive in MTP mode which turns it into a hard drive. In Mtp Mode it showed as in order. So there was no way to fix a problem that doesn't exist when accessing the unit as a hard drive. To find the Mtp and MSC mode it's simple Press the home button&lt;Settings&lt;System Settings&lt;USB Mode&lt; For loading books Audible manager will only recognize in MSC Mode.6. I'd prefer that it used a Micro USB connector which is used on most newer phones.7. Controls are very small. I have to hold it in front of me to use all the buttons except the on off and volume button.8. When Fast rewinding or forward my Ipod used to allow me to hear the words so it was easier to find the spot. This is totally silent.9. If I turn unit off and than back on sometimes it will resume at the beginning of the chapter that I was on. But I had the same problem with my IPOD. So I don't believe it's a Clip+ specific problem.If you like this review please rate it as helpful. When I was deciding whether to purchase this unit, I had trouble finding anything about the compatibility with Audible

question: How is the unit?, context: I've had it around 3 months. I went to adjust the sound. It wouldn't work. Than I pushed really hard and the sound button imploded. I've had Apple Nano 2nd generation for over 2 years never a problem. I only bought this because I was bored. Price is cheap but if they only last 3 months the value is low.I'll try to warranty it but they'll probably blame on misuse.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++With a little threatening, they replaced it. So we'll give them credit for standing behind the warranty. I have it sitting around because I just don't like the short battery life. My 4 year old Nano 2 goes for 12-15 hours compared to the 6-7 hours of this unit and I got tired of it always running out of batteries on me.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I'm very satisfied with this unit with one exception. I only get approximately 7 hours of listening time. This is leaving the unit on at a fairly high volume and doing nothing more than listening to books. I subtracted 2 stars because battery life is important to me and I've already run out a few times.I'm using it for Audible exclusively. I had a Ipod Nano 2nd generation and prefer the Sandisk Clip+ unit. This review is for Audible Users, others probably won't be interested in it. I was looking through the reviews and couldn't find a review that would describe the interaction of this unit with Audible Useage.1. Very small and compact- The unit is really tiny. All I want to do is listen to books. The screen is small enough to see easily but doesn't take up space so the buttons are larger.2. Great Sound-This unit sounds as good or better than my Ipod.3. Simple Navigation buttons-Took less than 5 minutes to learn.4. On off button which I use as Pause too. It is well located to the top directly over where the headset plugs in, I can find it by feel and don't need to see it. So it is convenient to find an use. When you turn off the book while running it comes back on at the same point still running. The time to turn on and start playing the book is less than 5 seconds. I've found that this feature is key to my enjoyment of using the unit with Audible. No fumbling through the other buttons to find pause.5.

My 4 year old Nano 2 goes for 12-15 hours compared to the 6-7 hours of this unit and I got tired of it always running out of batteries on me.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++I'm very satisfied with this unit with one exception. I only get approximately 7 hours of listening time. This is leaving the unit on at a fairly high volume and doing nothing more than listening to books. I subtracted 2 stars because battery life is important to me and I've already run out a few times.I'm using it for Audible exclusively. I had a Ipod Nano 2nd generation and prefer the Sandisk Clip+ unit. This review is for Audible Users, others probably won't be interested in it. I was looking through the reviews and couldn't find a review that would describe the interaction of this unit with Audible Useage.1. Very small and compact- <hl> The unit is really tiny. All I want to do is listen to books. The screen is small enough to see easily but doesn't take up space so the buttons are larger.2. Great Sound-This unit sounds as good or better than my Ipod.3. Simple Navigation buttons-Took less than 5 minutes to learn.4. On off button which I use as Pause too. It is well located to the top directly over where the headset plugs in, I can find it by feel and don't need to see it. So it is convenient to find an use. When you turn off the book while running it comes back on at the same point still running. The time to turn on and start playing the book is less than 5 seconds. I've found that this feature is key to my enjoyment of using the unit with Audible. No fumbling through the other buttons to find pause.5. Convenient Lock mechanism, which I never use, just push the home button for 5 seconds. No cumbersome hard to find slide mechanisms. Where this unit blows away the Ipod units is that there is no touch sensitive wheel. Everything is push button. Without that sensitive wheel, I've never had to lock the unit. I had an Ipod which used the wheel which is sensitive so I always had to lock it. Big pain in the neck.7.Sound controls are on the side, again push button and stiff enough not to trigger by accident. I prefer this to the ipod system.8. It organizes each book into it's own separate folder so it's an extra click but your books are organized together9. When part 1 of a book ends it automatically go to the next part.But won't open a new book. This is advantageous because if you fall asleep with Audible running than it runs to the end of the part of the book you are on, than the next part (if you aren't on the last part) and than it goes to sleep. This can reduce battery drain.IE listen before going to bed.10. Uses the standard Mini USB connector (the one that's bigger) so you can charge and Sync with the standard one used on many devices. I just bought 2Technocel MV9MCDUO-SP OEM Sprint Dual USB Port Car Charger - Blackalong with 2Dual Micro USB / Mini USB Splitter Cable - Charge up two Devices (One Micro and One Mini USB) Once From a Single USB Port - Ideal for mp3 players, Digital Cameras, Smartphones (Android, BlackBerry, HTC, Samsung), GPS, and More. This gives me 2 micro USB and 1 Mini USB in my Autos. With 1 of the Micro USB being rapid charge. I love devices with standard Micro USB connection. By the way I have aDMMR: Dual mini USB and Micro USB to USB Sync and Charge Cable (Retractable)at my office and it charged and transferred data flawlessly with this unit.I have a mini usb connection at home that I use for my Card Reader also transferred data and charged it. Hurray. It's standard Micro USB.12. Fast Forward and Rewind are as good if not better than the Ipod and convenient. Actually the Forward and reverse start slowly, than speed up the more time the button is held. This is advantageous because it allows for both slight f forward/Reverse and extreme f forward/reverse14.Expandable Memory using Micro SDHC. It was just so inexpensive I bought a 8gb MicroSDHC on Amazon for $6.00+ delivered8GB Sandisk MicroSDHC Memory Cardthis one is class 4 don't buy the class 2 might be too slow. With how cheap memory is it's better to buy the 4gb unit and upgrade instead of the 8gb unit. 4 gb does hold alot of books.15. Convenient Eject system from computer- I kept looking for the eject on my Windows Machine to disconnect. Finally I went to the manual. Turns out that as long as you aren't synchronizing you just pull the Unit out with no damage. Very convenient.15. You can listen to it while it's charging.The glitches:1. Battery life. Audible Playback only at fairly high volume using headphones. I only got around 7 hours. my Ipod Nano gets 14 hours. I had to take 2 stars off because that would be a deal breaker for many.2. For Audible can only use the Audible Manager.Remember Audible books are DRM Protected so you need the Audible Manager to decrypt and put on the Clip+3. Their is no way to organize the order of the books. It goes in Alphabetical Order (If I'm wrong please tell me how to do it in comments.4. Itunes tried to take over so I had to remove ITunes but I think that there is a setting or way that I could disableItunes from turning on automatically. Also my original default was through Itunes. Just be aware there may be issues withItunes and Audible Manager on your machine. Probably you can get around it.5. The books are grouped by Books. So if you are in part 1 of a book it'll play part 2 but won't go to the next book.Since it doesnt' go automatically. You have to stop and fiddle with it. This could be inconvenient for example if you are driving. Unfortunately once the book is organized on the machine their is no way to change the order. I have some books where it decided to put the Part 2 at the top and part 1 below. I tried accessing the drive in MTP mode which turns it into a hard drive. In Mtp Mode it showed as in order. So there was no way to fix a problem that doesn't exist when accessing the unit as a hard drive. To find the Mtp and MSC mode it's simple Press the home button&lt;Settings&lt;System Settings&lt;USB Mode&lt; For loading books Audible manager will only recognize in MSC Mode.6. I'd prefer that it used a Micro USB connector which is used on most newer phones.7. Controls are very small. I have to hold it in front of me to use all the buttons except the on off and volume button.8. When Fast rewinding or forward my Ipod used to allow me to hear the words so it was easier to find the spot. This is totally silent.9. If I turn unit off and than back on sometimes it will resume at the beginning of the chapter that I was on. But I had the same problem with my IPOD. So I don't believe it's a Clip+ specific problem.If you like this review please rate it as helpful. When I was deciding whether to purchase this unit, I had trouble finding anything about the compatibility with Audible <hl>

I've had it around 3 months. I went to adjust the sound. It wouldn't work. Than I pushed really hard and the sound button imploded.

I love the quick setup, the gigabit connections, and the dual band wireless

question: How was the connection?, context: I love the quick setup, the gigabit connections, and the dual band wireless. So far I've used the 5 Ghz band for my work PC, 2.5 Ghz for everything else. Both the wireless and wired connections have been rock solid, better than what I can say for my cable service provider.I don't have any so far; time will tell whether reliability stacks up to the name brands.I studied many different brands that are available in the market now, and broke with a significant brand loyalty to take a chance on a lesser-known (unknown to me) brand. Wireless routers are not necessarily a commodity item, but they are getting closer to each other in terms of features and differentiation. Price and durability seem to be the big differentiation factors now. So far I am very happy with this purchase; time will tell if reliability is up to par.

the sound quality is great

question: Does the quality live up to the expectation?, context: My son purchased these because his last pair of apple earbuds and the Philips were terrible. He decided on these in-ear headphones and loves them. He says the sound quality is great and so much better than the apple and the Philips. He said that he had to get use to the in-ear but he got use to them really fast. Highly recommend and will buy again.

While I don't have

question: How is the price?, context: This 15 ft HDMI cable seems to be well crafted and the price is unbeatable. I purchased a longer cable to allow for mounting my TV high on a wall with a fully adjustable/movable TV mount. While I don't have my wall mount yet, I have connected and used the cable and I expect it to work quite well. It is supple, easy to work with and the Picture quality is great with my 50" Panasonic plasma TV. The length of the cable did not degrade picture quality. I have not tried 3D viewing yet, because I don't have glasses or a 3D disc yet. Regardless, the product specifications say it will support 3D and I have no reason to doubt (but I will update my review if there is a problem).

the new interface is really nice.

question: How is the interface structured?, context: I bought this product to replace a previous WD TV live player without wifi. This player is well worth the money. Setup was simple. As soon as I got it hooked up and connected to my home network it automatically updated the firmware itself. If you have used a WDTVLive player in the past, the new interface is really nice. You have a lot of options for customizing your view settings. This is very nice if you have a large media library that you are sharing over your home network. I believe the ROKU may have this product beat if you are only looking to stream media off of the internet, but if you are primarily concerned with streaming media on your home network, this is hands down the best option to do so.

I bought this product to replace a previous WD TV live player without wifi. This player is well worth the money. Setup was simple. As soon as I got it hooked up and connected to my home network it automatically updated the firmware itself.

these speakers are too quiet

question: How well does the speaker work for you?, context: To those who think these speakers are too quiet, I suggest you check your "Sound" settings (in Mac). Go to "Output" and check whether "Logitech" is selected, or internal speakers. I'm sure Windows instructions are similar -- Control Panel, Sound, something.If that doesn't work, turn your hearing aid up.This thing is incredibly designed, they should win an award for it. I think it was designed around the 13" Macbook Pro (that's what I have). It nails at least 7 of Dieter Rams' 10 Principles of design, most especially "Good design is unobtrusive."My only complaint is that the sound mix is a little mid-heavy for my taste. That's pretty nitpicking for $40 speakers that hang like a ninja behind my laptop monitor, but I thought I'd share that observation as well.

the power to the hub

question: How was the power supply?, context: EXPERIENCE: Hooking this hub up was super simple, I connected the power to the hub, connected the data cable, and then the many USB devices. Because this USB hub is self-powered, that means that each USB device is getting all the power it needs. Again, because this USB hub is self-powered, the computer does not need to be on to charge the USB devices! This hub supports both USB 1.1 (12Mbits/second) and USB 2.0 (480Mbits/second). Which is a good thing because, most USB devices now days require a 480Mbit connection, in order to get anything done in time.Because this hub is so small, the wires tend to want to yank it off of the desk. So I used my super man solution to everything electronics, double sided tape, YES! When the USB hub is all connected up, you will see green LED lights for the ports. It is a nice green glow that looks good, but not so bright to be annoying.CONCLUSION: I like the color of the D-link hub, as it pretty much matches my SMC Baracade router. Having 7-ports in a USB hub is just an awesome thing, I love how fast the transfer rate is, and I love the green glowing port LED's. With it being self-powered, I no longer have to leave my computer on to charge a USB device. So far I have not had any problems with it, and I give this hub a 5 out of 5.

This mouse has more buttons

question: Does have a extra button?, context: Im coming to this mouse after using an MX Revolution for 4 years. This mouse has more buttons and fancy software but it pales in comparison.-Its not recognized in Setpoint so you must use the Gaming software to assign your buttons.-The Gaming software will not save the settings for more than a day, so you have to keep resetting the button layout.-Battery life is a joke. You might as well leave it plugged in.If this mouse was free I would still be angry. Please don't waste your money.Update (Oct.29,2013)For whatever reason this mouse has gotten better at keeping profiles. I think it helps to pull the battery every once in a while. Its a good mouse if it saves your profile.I have added a star. But still very frustrating when it drops your profile while you're in the middle of something.

However if your camera

question: Is it a good camera?, context: Np problems with this card whatsoever. However if your camera,is like mine, capable of using a CF card, spend the extra money and get that card. The problem with SD cards is simply they are not as sturdy and strong as their CF counter parts.

Bass is weak as expected, even with EQ adjusted up

question: Is this music song have a goo bass?, context: To anyone who hasn't tried all the various types of headphones, it is important to remember exactly what these are: cheap portable on-ear headphones. They give a totally different sound then in-ears or closed design phones, but for what they are I would say they're good. I currently own six pairs of phones, from stock apple earbuds to Sennheiser HD 518s. Gave my Portapros a run on both my computer's sound card and mp3 player, using 256 kbps mp3s or better. The clarity is good and they're very lightweight. The folding design is simple but effective. The look is certainly retro and unique, although I didn't find it as comfortable as many have claimed. Earpads are *very* thin and made my ears sore after 30 minutes of listening, although this can be remedied to a point by adjusting the "comfort zone" feature (tightening the temple pads while loosening the ear pads). The cord seems to be an average thickness, but I wouldn't get too rough with these. The steel headband adjusts smoothly and easily, just watch out that the slider doesn't catch your hair. Despite the sore ears, the phones are very lightweight overall.Back to the sound: as you would expect, it's good for a portable phone, but hardly earth shattering. At flat EQ the clarity is good, although the highs can sometimes be harsh. Bass is weak as expected, even with EQ adjusted up. To be fair, a portable on-ear would have a tough time comparing to the bass of an in-ear with a good seal or a pair with larger drivers. No sound isolation offered if you're into that sort of thing. Cool 80s phones, though I've certainly owned better portable on-ears (Sony makes excellent phones in this category). Soundstage is very narrow and lacks body. A good value if you can get them for under thirty, otherwise I'd rather invest in a nicer pair of phones. If we're talking about value, they're a good buy compared to new stock apple buds. If you're trying to compare the sound quality of this product to serious headphones, there's really no comparison at all.Update: After 100 hours of burn-in time the sound has not been affected in any appreciable way. Highs are still harsh, and bass is still underwhelming. I sometimes use these as a convenience but they have been largely replaced in my collection.

router seems to work just fine

question: How is the unit?, context: EDIT:08/14/11Unfortunately, I've been experiencing some issues with this router. As far as the computers in my house go, this router seems to work just fine. No problems connecting anywhere in the house. My problem is with my iOS devices. My ipad connects just fine and stays connected while in use, but loses it's connection when idle. I use an alarm clock app at night that displays the weather. By the time I wake up in the morning, the weather is no longer available because my connection was dropped. I have to open my preferences and re-select my network.And that's the least of my problems. I use my ipad as a VNC Remote, VLC Remote, and a remote file viewer for my Mac Mini. I had never had any hiccups with my previous router, but this one will not connect with any of those three applications. If I restart the router, I have a short period of time where they will connect before my ipad goes idle, I lose my connection, re-select my network in preferences, and then none of those three will work. It's never just one, all three stop working at once. I use these features of my wifi network multiple times throughout the day and this has been incredibly frustrating.I'm waiting to hear back from tech support before I box this up and send it back. I really want to like it...it's nice looking, and fast, but I need the above features to work, or the router is near useless to me.ORIGINAL REVIEW:This was an upgrade from a Comcast leased router that, in all honesty, was perfectly fine. We were just tired of paying for it every month. I've only had this router for a day, but setup only took seconds. The setup page is pretty easy to navigate and I had no problems renaming our network, creating a passcode, and forwarding the necessary ports to get my torrent clients up and running. I don't notice any significant speed increase over a wireless G router, but very few systems are able to utilize the 150mbps this thing is capable of providing. Anyway, the signal is strong and it's as speedy as expected.I've owned quite a few routers in my day and most of them are pretty straight forward pieces of equipment. This one receives five stars because it does what it's supposed to and hasn't hickupped so far. I will update my review in a few months when I have a better idea of durability and quality over time, but I don't foresee any issues.For the price, a GREAT buy, and I highly suggest getting the bundle that Amazon offers with this modem:Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem. The combination is stellar. Very happy buyer :)

I don't notice any significant speed increase over a wireless G router, but very few systems are able to utilize the 150mbps this thing is capable of providing. Anyway, the signal is strong and it's as speedy as expected.I've owned quite a few routers in my day and most of them are pretty straight forward pieces of equipment. This one receives five stars because it does what it's supposed to and hasn't hickupped so far. I will update my review in a few months when I have a better idea of durability and quality over time, but I don't foresee any issues.For the price, a GREAT buy, and I highly suggest getting the bundle that Amazon offers with this modem:Motorola SB6120 SURFboard DOCSIS 3.0 eXtreme Broadband Cable Modem. The combination is stellar. Very happy buyer :)

EDIT:08/14/11Unfortunately, I've been experiencing some issues with this router. <hl> As far as the computers in my house go, this router seems to work just fine . <hl> No problems connecting anywhere in the house. My problem is with my iOS devices. My ipad connects just fine and stays connected while in use, but loses it's connection when idle. I use an alarm clock app at night that displays the weather. By the time I wake up in the morning, the weather is no longer available because my connection was dropped. I have to open my preferences and re-select my network. And that's the least of my problems. I use my ipad as a VNC Remote, VLC Remote, and a remote file viewer for my Mac Mini. I had never had any hiccups with my previous router, but this one will not connect with any of those three applications. If I restart the router, I have a short period of time where they will connect before my ipad goes idle, I lose my connection, re-select my network in preferences, and then none of those three will work. It's never just one, all three stop working at once. I use these features of my wifi network multiple times throughout the day and this has been incredibly frustrating. I'm waiting to hear back from tech support before I box this up and send it back. I really want to like it...it's nice looking, and fast, but I need the above features to work, or the router is near useless to me. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This was an upgrade from a Comcast leased router that, in all honesty, was perfectly fine. We were just tired of paying for it every month. I've only had this router for a day, but setup only took seconds. The setup page is pretty easy to navigate and I had no problems renaming our network, creating a passcode, and forwarding the necessary ports to get my torrent clients up and running.

The sound is acceptable

question: How would you rate the designs for the new house?, context: These are some cool little ear buds. The bud part is oval shaped (after being inserted onto the post, otherwise the silicone buds do look round in the package) instead of perfectly round and they seem to fit in my ear better than any other buds I have tried. I have VERY small ears so I have a difficult time finding earbuds that are comfortable, and these fit the bill. The in ear part is also slightly off center so they seem to block noise better and have a more secure fit. I have shaken my head around quite a bit with these in and they refuse to fall out. Other buds have not been so kind to me. The sound is acceptable, and for the price you seriously cannot go wrong. They come with three different sized in ear pieces. They are a little more difficult to swap out due to the shape of the bud post being oval and the bud itself being round, but it isn't that big of a deal.

the bass is perfect

question: How was the bass?, context: These headphones sound so good. I havent given them their full burn in time but they already produce such good sound and the bass is perfect, not too much not to little. I am impressed with them. As to construction, these are SOLID. Others have complained that the cable is too thin and wont last. HONESTLY its not that thin, and it feels VERY rugged. I am CONFIDENT it will last a long time. As to the tips, the ones it was wearing when i got it turned out to be a perfect fit i didnt need the others. As for the noise cancellation it works quite well, Put these on and turn on the sound and outside noise will be blocked. If there is louder outside noise simply turn these up a bit. THIS IS GREAT FOR LOUD KIDS, NAGGING WIVES/GIRLFRIENDS, BARKING DOGS, ANYTHING.....This is excellent quality from klipsch

This thing is incredibly easy to use

question: How was the quality of the interface?, context: Okay, bad on me for not doing my research, but the whole reason I bought this was because I wanted to watch Amazon Prime Video Streaming from my iPad to my TV. I thought airplay and screen mirroring would be the way to go. Little did I know Amazon and Apple are having a stand-off because Apple can't handle competition. Well, I'm sorry Apple, but in my opinion, Amazon's services are better than your's and Netflix' combined. In the meantime, I'll use my dinky little Wii to watch Prime content in non-HD.Seriously Apple, get over it and quit suing everyone for everything.Please hold while I step down from my soapbox.... Okay, on a positive note. This thing is incredibly easy to use, I watch my video podcasts effortlessly, and video rentals are actually quite reasonable. Also, I really like the ability to stream music from my PC (using iTunes) and have a slideshow screensaver display on my TV (from a specific folder that I chose on my computer). Screen mirroring is pretty cool, but I haven't found much practical use for it.It was a toss-up between this and the Roku, and I'm glad I got the Apple TV.Good hunting...

Fast, easy setup

question: How do you like the control?, context: Fast, easy setup. I also have a Roku LT. The Netflix app on the Apple TV is much nicer than the Roku. Interestingly, the 2 devices don't list identical offerings in their respective PBS apps/channels. I do wish Apple wouldn't assume that their devices are so simple that decent instructions aren't necessary -- although setup was simple, figuring out how to get closed captions to display required a web search. Easy enough to find online but that type of info should be in the brief guide they provide in print.

the design is elegant

question: How is the design?, context: Just wanted to write this review to warn those looking to use this keyboard for gaming. Purchased this keyboard at a major retail store yesterday and immediately returned it. This is an excellent keyboard, the design is elegant, the keys feel very nice,the backlighting is nice and its truly whisper-quiet. However, this keyboard has one MAJOR flaw that makes it not usable for gaming. The keyboard has a feature that is supposed to help with typing mistakes, and it basically only allows for 2 simultaneous key presses at once for most keys...if there is a 3rd key pressed it does not take that input.This is a show stopper for gaming because one critical combination does not work: you can't press the Spacebar key while pressing a letter key and shift. So basically in FPS games, you cannot jump while sprinting. In practice this feels completely debilitating. I immediately noticed the flaw in BF3, and tried it with other games (including Skryim) and can confirm that its an issue. I checked reviews on Newegg and many reviewers mentioned the same flaw.So if you're looking to use this keyboard for anything other than gaming, I would highly recommend it. However it just can't be used for gaming as you can't press mutliple keys at once. Sad considering everything else about this keyboard is fantastic.

The manual focus is smooth

question: Is the focus ring smooth?, context: As others have mentioned the lens is quite solid but the hood is cheap feeling. I got this for my D5100 to try to get some decent indoor volleyball pictures. I wanted a fast lens with a little magnification for for action at about 10-30 meters range. This lens does just what I wanted. The magnification factor for an APS-c sensor about right. If there are any distortions in the corners I won't notice them on my camera. I don't think this lens is recommended for a full frame camera.The manual focus is smooth and doesn't pull. I am still not sure this is the best lens for what I want since the DOF is only about a foot or two at 30 feet and f1.4. That is just physics and nothing wrong with the lens itselfI plan on doing some portrait work with it in the near future and expect good things.

the mic is up to par

question: How do you hear the mic?, context: I'm not a sound enthusiast so I can't give an expert opinion on the sound quality - but, it certainly isn't anything to complain about (as a gamer). The price was well within my range and I haven't had any issues after a few months.The headset is comfortable enough that you can wear it for several hours, the mic is up to par, and in-line audio controls are always a plus. The sound seemed a little hollow to me when I first started to use these but I would hardly say so anymore.I have two complaints about this product, first. the cord is obscenely short and will only reach the front audio jacks of a desktop. If this is not an option, then get an extension cable. Secondly, they hardly hold sound in at all. Even listening to music at a moderate level I can remove the headset and hear it a few feet away. This isn't an issue for me because I do not share the room with anyone, but if you're around someone who might be bothered then you may want to find a different headset.

the install was easy

question: How do you like the installation?, context: I was sent three different units before I received one that didn't have air in the line. Since the unit is comletely closed there's nothing you can do to get rid of the air and it makes horribly anoying vibrating sounds. You will also have to pay for shipping from corsair if you don't fight it.Once I got one that was free of air, the install was easy and I think it looks better than a big bulky fan sitting on top of your mobo. Performance seems on par with higher end fans but more quiet in my opinion. Not sure if I would recommend though. The cost isn't really justified especially with the headache of quality control issues.

How do you like the installation?

Once I got one that was free of air, the install was easy and I think it looks better than a big bulky fan sitting on top of your mobo.

I was sent three different units before I received one that didn't have air in the line. Since the unit is comletely closed there's nothing you can do to get rid of the air and it makes horribly anoying vibrating sounds. You will also have to pay for shipping from corsair if you don't fight it.Once I got one that was free of air, the install was easy and I think it looks better than a big bulky fan sitting on top of your mobo.

Great color and quick response time

question: How did the speaker do it?, context: I just set this monitor up and am already loving it. Great color and quick response time. I don't do any gaming so can't compare there but the colors are very sharp and vivid especially compared to the Acer I bought only two years ago. Already bought a second one as well.

Chromecast

question: How is the price?, context: There are currently not many products that even do nearly the same thing this does. It's very inexpensive. The support for it is great. I do notice occasional stutter and audio quality degradation, but hey, it's wireless video. I'm very pleased. It includes everything needed, and even the packaging is high quality. The setup was very simple.My review is probably shorter than the Chromecast deserves, but I don't have any significant complaints, it has totally changed the way I use my receiver. It is now set to use the Chromecast source 90% of the time. I can pick out a movie from my phone, and I can resume the song I was just listening to in the car once I open my front door. Support for local media could be better, but it's still quite new.

this keyboard has made my job so much easier

question: How is the keyboard?, context: I bought this keyboard because I have pain in my hands from being a long-time computer nerd. I'm a professional software developer, and this keyboard has made my job so much easier. I have one at home and one at work. And one non-functioning one on the shelf that was the victim of a water spill (unfortunately, no keyboard seems to be immune from liquid damage). I'll keep using one of these as long as they are around for me to use.The layout is great. It takes an hour or so to get used to it, but once you do, you'll find your typing speed and accuracy both increase. If you have pain in your hands, you'll find that this doesn't exacerbate it like other keyboards might. It's as easy as any keyboard to install, and I haven't had any problem with it working outside of the one I ruined by spilling water on it. Keys responds well, they don't need you to hammer on them, in fact you can type pretty gingerly on it.The "candy" on the keyboard isn't very functional to me, beyond the back-forward buttons near the space bar...I actually set those to skip through my music playlist. Love that feature! The zoom toggle in the middle...I reprogrammed that to be a scroll. I still don't use it all that often. I use the music controls at the top, and the calculator...but I don't really care about the shortcut keys. I suppose some people would find some functionality to them, I personally use Launchy to accomplish all that those things could do though.I love that this has the "classic" layout for the insert-delete-home key group, instead of turning all of those on their side.One thing that doesn't bother me, but might bother others: It isn't the quietest keyboard. It absolutely isn't loud, per se...but I've noticed that it gets louder with use. When I first get one, I'm impressed with the quietness, but it doesn't take more than a couple of weeks for that to wear down and things to get about as loud as any other keyboard of the same generation.One other thing I could do without, but is not at all unique to this keyboard: F-Lock. I actually found a script that disables the F-Lock key though...so it isn't so bothersome now, but the default functionality is annoying as all hell.

sound, no problems

question: Does the sound fantastic?, context: I read all of the reviews and bought these headphones. I knew the Sennheiser name so felt I would be on the right track. I have 3 pair of headphones. A pair I bought at Radio Shack 5 years ago for $27 (bedroom), which died and is the reason for my purchase. I also have the Sony headphones for $150 (TV room). These cost $75 (bedroom). My $27 headphones were the best in every way; sound, no problems, always worked. Radio Shack no longer has the headphones. When I first got the Senn headphones they worked 50% of the time and it was very frustrating. We found out that when we had them plugged into the back of the TV (brand new LCD TV), that was the reason for them working only 50% of the time but when we plugged them into the back of our DVR, they work 100% of the time and we have had no more problems. The only thing I don't like about these headphones is that they are not comfortable and fall of my head easily. I didn't know they weren't the type that covers the whole ear. The type that covers the whole ear are the most comfortable and the sound is better because your ear is encased. Also they don't fall off. When I'm sitting in bed watching TV with my head against a couple of pillows, it moves these headphones forward slightly off my ears and the sound is not as loud. As for recommending these headphones, I would say get the headphones that cover the ear whatever brand.

It may have been the way that the speaker was placed in my pocket, but by the third day the cable had already begun to fray.The sound is fantastic and very loud, even without the bass resonator open.You will not regret buying this speaker, nothing else sounds this good for 20 bucks. I removed one star for the cheap cabling and lack of a usb to wall adapter to charge the product.

<hl> I bought this card for my EVO 4G in order to speed up file transfers as well as boost its storage capacity. <hl> As others have observed, this card is really fast.

It feels very sturdy and nice looking

question: Where can I feel my device?, context: I ordered my new NewTrend Airbender Pro NT610KR from Amazon. I received it a few days later. It was great timing because I was just getting ready to leave on a business trip. I rapidly removed it from the box. My initial impression was great. Starting from the cool box to the wireless keyboard case. The case looks great. It feels very sturdy and nice looking. It is little thicker than my old case (another great case from NewTrend Airbend 2.0 (NT510K)).Next, I had to charge the case to use it. I had only a few hours left before I left. Now the charging process is a little strange. The manual says that the light indicator should be lighted in RED, but I never saw it. I waited and eventually the light turned BLUE (maybe the RED indicator only shows when the battery is dead. I will have to post an update once the first charge is over).Then came it came to placing my iPad Air into the new case. I struggled a little. The case is very tight. It is harder to take it apart. Putting it together was very easy once I figured out how to take it apart. Each of the important input places are protected by a small tab which fits perfectly and makes the iPad well protected. The case comes with a screen protector which is nice (I already have my screen protector), but I figured it will provide a double protection. Now I had everything ready for my trip.When I boarded my flight, I was finally ready to use it. First I needed to open the case to the position that felt most comfortable. There is a release button in the on the side of the case that releases the extension arm. I pulled it too far and it came apart. It was no problem. Pressed the button and placed the extension arm to the right level. Now, I was truly ready to use it, but before I use it I had to pair the wireless keyboard and my iPad Air (updated to the last iOS). First, I could not figure out how to turn on the keyboard. I did not read the manual, but I eventually figured that I need to hold the on/off button for a few seconds to turn it on and off. Then I pressed the pairing button which connected easily to my iPad. Used extensively the keyboard during my 10 hours flight. I wrote emails and made notes in preparations for my upcoming client meetings. The keyboard felt nice. It was not clunky and was a good size. With my first Airbender 2.0, I had some problems with the keyboard freezing my iPad which this worked perfectly. During my trip, the passenger next to me commented about the case too. He said it looks really nice.During the week and my flight back, the case was still working perfectly. So far, no problems. I took some pictures with iPhone 5s. These may not be the greatest pictures, but it will provide you with some sense of this great case. If you have iPad and wants it to be protected and a great wireless keyboard, you must consider the Newtrend Airbender Pro (NT610KR)!Durability~5 (so far, no issue to report)Functionality~5 (it has all of the options I would want)Quality~5 (so far it has been great and fun to use it)Protective Capability~5 (this is a fantastic case)Shipping of product~5 (the box is pretty cool too)

The DPI changing button is in a nice spot where you won't accidentally hit it

question: How is the button easy to press?, context: This is a very comfortable mouse! I didn't give it 5 stars because it's a tad big for my hands, which might just be a little smaller than average - but it always seemed to me it is harder for those with larger hands to find mice, so that's probably a good feature. It is still a big improvement! It has nice grip on the thumb side and a nice-feeling semi-rubberized right side (which I wish were a little more grippy). The scroll wheel has a very nice feel and grip. The nano receiver fits into the bottom fairly firmly. Completely plug and play on my MacOS10.8 setup. Tracks and slides nicely, feels quality all over. The DPI changing button is in a nice spot where you won't accidentally hit it, too. Great buy!

price is super great (thats why I give 3 stars)

question: How is the price of headphones?, context: I think these headphones are very good on sound quality.I'm disappointing on how tight they are.I have a small head (I can comfortably fit a big kids helmet) compared to average so when I took them out of the box and put them on they felt comfortable. However after half an hour my ears got soar and I was beginning to get a headache.Adjusting the band doesn't help because that just changes the height of the headphones but not the width.I wondered if I got the kids version or if I'm wearing them wrong. I felt like one of those cartoons that have their head squeezed and their eyes bulged out.It's a shame I was really looking forward to loving these because the sound, look, and price is super great (thats why I give 3 stars)... but the feel is most important for me and that just isn't good (that's why I took out two stars).Over all if you need to wear these for longer than 30 minutes I'd look at something else.

QUALITYThe sound quality on this device is much better than the iPod touch

question: What is the sound quality?, context: Zune HD or iPod touch? Many people may start comparing this product to the iPod touch, but there are many aspects of PMP (portable media player), including the price (you get 16GB for one-hundred-sixty dollars, where for an iPod, you get 8GB for two-hundred-twenty dollars), that make the Zune HD a better choice and a strong competitor with today's leading PMP's.||>>APPEARANCEWhen I first opened up my Zune box and took it out, I was amazed. The Zune is extremely light and durable. The brushed metal back to the Zune gives it an industrial, yet sleek look. And since the screen is OLED, you can barely see where the screen boundaries are on the device. Overall, this probably one of the best looking devices I've ever seen (and I've seen tons of PMP's).||>>EASE OF USEThe user interface is amazing. It's definitely the best UI I've seen in a while. On the whole screen, there are options for music, pictures, videos, podcasts, internet, marketplace, social, and settings. Each sub-menu after that is pretty much the same. For music, you can view the music by artists, albums, genres, or songs (just a list of the 500 songs or whatever). You can switch between these different viewing options by swiping it to the left or right. The Zune performs these actions flawlessly.||>>INTERNET BROWSERAlong with all the other features packed into this device, the Zune sports a great browser. According to some sources, the browser is a slightly modified version of Internet Explorer 6. It seems pretty outdated, but many of the websites I go to have a mobile version that works just as well. Overall, loading pages is sometimes fast, and sometimes slow. It really depends on wi-fi network you're on. I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the web browser in terms of scrolling, and typing in text (the on-screen keyboard is great). The only thing I wish the Zune had was YouTube support, but with all of the music I have, I can manage not going on YouTube.||>>PORTABILITYThis devices is extremely light. It weighs around 70 grams, while the iPhone 3GS weighs about 150 grams. The devices is about 2 inches wide and 4 inches tall, with a screen that's 3.25 inches diagonally. The perfect dimension make the Zune extremely easy to carry around with me wherever I go, and also perfect for holding in my hand. I recommend buying a case (Incipio Feather Case for Zune HD (Black)) for this device.||>>SOUND QUALITYThe sound quality on this device is much better than the iPod touch. All my friends have iPods or iPhones, and even they say that my Zune sound quality blows theirs away. There are many different EQ settings for the music; acoustic, classical, electronic, hip hop, jazz, pop, and rock. I would probably say acoustic and pop are the most well-balanced options on the device, but different people have different ears. You might like different EQ settings, not to mention different headphones have different sound quality too.||>>BATTERY LIFEThe battery life on this device is a little bit better than the average PMP. With the brightness on low, wireless off, and the volume at 15 out of 30, I could probably get about 15 hours of battery life. The battery life also, depends on the bitrate of the movies or songs that you're listening to, as higher bitrates mean lower battery life. Most of my songs are 320 kbps, which is fairly high, so my battery life approximations may or may not be accurate.||>>SCREEN QUALITYThe OLED screen on this device is AMAZING. The resolution is 480x272, which isn't true HD resolution, but you can output HD video with the dock, which is sold separately. The colors on the screen are extremely bright and vivid, and the blacks are extremely dark. And the thing about OLED screens is that when they're displaying black pixels, the screen simply isn't being lit up at those pixels. So, having a lot of black really saves a lot of battery life, not to mention the whites look much, much better on OLED screens then any other screen. HOWEVER, if you're displaying a lot of white, the battery life drains a little faster than usual, which doesn't really matter that much because most of the menus are black anyway. If I was stuck on an island with nothing but my Zune HD and a couply of movies, I would be happy. :)||>>HEADPHONE QUALITYThe headphones that come with the device are pretty good. The only problem that I have with them is the bass response, so if you're an audiophile like myself, then you'll probably want to get new, better headphones. The headphones themselves are built extremely well and last a long time (longer than the generic Apple headphones). Also, the ear buds have little magnets on the ends of them which is kind of cool.||>>VERSATILITYThis device can play music, pictures, videos, podcasts (for free from the Zune Marketplace), browse the internet, download songs (and albums), and run some apps. So overall, this device has a pretty good range of things it can do. However, there isn't any integrated speaker, so you won't be able to watch videos or listen to music without headphones or separate speakers.||>>APPSThe apps selection is pretty limited. At the time of this review, there are probably only about 40-50 apps, most of which are simple 2D games. But they have a Facebook app, email app, and a twitter app, which I find quite useful at times.||>>SOFTWAREI've used iTunes before and I have to say, the Zune software totally blows iTunes out of the water. The interface is just so much faster. It looks nicer, instead of those bland Excel spreadsheets. When you're playing a song, the background automatically changes into a collage of different albums but that band, similar artists, artists photos, and some other stuff. Overall, the software is excellent, and really adds to the Zune experience.||>>MUSIC SUBSCRIPTIONS OPTIONSFor one-hundred-forty dollars a year, you can buy a Zune PASS. The Zune Pass is a subscription services that allows you to download an UNLIMITED amount of music for the time you're subscribed, along with 10 additional songs per month that you can keep forever. So, if you buy a 1-year subscription to the Zune Pass, you can download unlimited songs for a year, keep them on you computer, Zune, or Windows phone, and then listen to them whenever you want. Then, at the end of the subscription, you can download 120 of those songs to keep forever, even when you aren't subscribed. And if you stay subscribed, you can just continue like nothing ever happened, and then at the end of the 2 years, you can download 240 songs from the collection. Having the freedom to download as many songs as I want until my Zune gets full is really fun, and I would really recommend a Zune Pass to anyone who's thinking of getting a Zune.||>>VERDICTThe Zune HD is an excellent devices for anyone who wants a rich and filling digital media experience. The Zune might have some flaws, like not very many apps, and no YouTube support, but for the most part, the Zune shines. I would recommend this PMP over an iPod anyday. If you want tons of apps, and YouTube, you should probably consider getting an iPod, but if you want an amazing multimedia experience, be sure to consider getting a Zune.--Bob

The only problem that I have with them is the bass response, so if you're an audiophile like myself, then you'll probably want to get new, better headphones. The headphones themselves are built extremely well and last a long time (longer than the generic Apple headphones). Also, the ear buds have little magnets on the ends of them which is kind of cool.||>>VERSATILITYThis device can play music, pictures, videos, podcasts (for free from the Zune Marketplace), browse the internet, download songs (and albums), and run some apps. So overall, this device has a pretty good range of things it can do. However, there isn't any integrated speaker, so you won't be able to watch videos or listen to music without headphones or separate speakers.||>>APPSThe apps selection is pretty limited. At the time of this review, there are probably only about 40-50 apps, most of which are simple 2D games. But they have a Facebook app, email app, and a twitter app, which I find quite useful at times.||>>SOFTWAREI've used iTunes before and I have to say, the Zune software totally blows iTunes out of the water. The interface is just so much faster. It looks nicer, instead of those bland Excel spreadsheets. When you're playing a song, the background automatically changes into a collage of different albums but that band, similar artists, artists photos, and some other stuff. Overall, the software is excellent, and really adds to the Zune experience.||>>MUSIC SUBSCRIPTIONS OPTIONSFor one-hundred-forty dollars a year, you can buy a Zune PASS. The Zune Pass is a subscription services that allows you to download an UNLIMITED amount of music for the time you're subscribed, along with 10 additional songs per month that you can keep forever. So, if you buy a 1-year subscription to the Zune Pass, you can download unlimited songs for a year, keep them on you computer, Zune, or Windows phone, and then listen to them whenever you want. Then, at the end of the subscription, you can download 120 of those songs to keep forever, even when you aren't subscribed. And if you stay subscribed, you can just continue like nothing ever happened, and then at the end of the 2 years, you can download 240 songs from the collection. Having the freedom to download as many songs as I want until my Zune gets full is really fun, and I would really recommend a Zune Pass to anyone who's thinking of getting a Zune.||>>VERDICTThe Zune HD is an excellent devices for anyone who wants a rich and filling digital media experience. The Zune might have some flaws, like not very many apps, and no YouTube support, but for the most part, the Zune shines. I would recommend this PMP over an iPod anyday. If you want tons of apps, and YouTube, you should probably consider getting an iPod, but if you want an amazing multimedia experience, be sure to consider getting a Zune.--Bob

I recommend buying a case (Incipio Feather Case for Zune HD (Black)) for this device.||>>SOUND <hl> QUALITYThe sound quality on this device is much better than the iPod touch <hl> .

Zune HD or iPod touch? Many people may start comparing this product to the iPod touch, but there are many aspects of PMP (portable media player), including the price (you get 16GB for one-hundred-sixty dollars, where for an iPod, you get 8GB for two-hundred-twenty dollars), that make the Zune HD a better choice and a strong competitor with today's leading PMP's.||>>APPEARANCEWhen I first opened up my Zune box and took it out, I was amazed. The Zune is extremely light and durable. The brushed metal back to the Zune gives it an industrial, yet sleek look. And since the screen is OLED, you can barely see where the screen boundaries are on the device. Overall, this probably one of the best looking devices I've ever seen (and I've seen tons of PMP's).||>>EASE OF USEThe user interface is amazing. It's definitely the best UI I've seen in a while. On the whole screen, there are options for music, pictures, videos, podcasts, internet, marketplace, social, and settings. Each sub-menu after that is pretty much the same. For music, you can view the music by artists, albums, genres, or songs (just a list of the 500 songs or whatever). You can switch between these different viewing options by swiping it to the left or right. The Zune performs these actions flawlessly.||>>INTERNET BROWSERAlong with all the other features packed into this device, the Zune sports a great browser. According to some sources, the browser is a slightly modified version of Internet Explorer 6. It seems pretty outdated, but many of the websites I go to have a mobile version that works just as well. Overall, loading pages is sometimes fast, and sometimes slow. It really depends on wi-fi network you're on. I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the web browser in terms of scrolling, and typing in text (the on-screen keyboard is great). The only thing I wish the Zune had was YouTube support, but with all of the music I have, I can manage not going on YouTube.||>>PORTABILITYThis devices is extremely light. It weighs around 70 grams, while the iPhone 3GS weighs about 150 grams. The devices is about 2 inches wide and 4 inches tall, with a screen that's 3.25 inches diagonally. The perfect dimension make the Zune extremely easy to carry around with me wherever I go, and also perfect for holding in my hand. I recommend buying a case (Incipio Feather Case for Zune HD (Black)) for this device.||>>SOUND <hl> QUALITYThe sound quality on this device is much better than the iPod touch <hl>. All my friends have iPods or iPhones, and even they say that my Zune sound quality blows theirs away. There are many different EQ settings for the music; acoustic, classical, electronic, hip hop, jazz, pop, and rock. I would probably say acoustic and pop are the most well-balanced options on the device, but different people have different ears. You might like different EQ settings, not to mention different headphones have different sound quality too.||>>BATTERY LIFEThe battery life on this device is a little bit better than the average PMP. With the brightness on low, wireless off, and the volume at 15 out of 30, I could probably get about 15 hours of battery life. The battery life also, depends on the bitrate of the movies or songs that you're listening to, as higher bitrates mean lower battery life. Most of my songs are 320 kbps, which is fairly high, so my battery life approximations may or may not be accurate.||>>SCREEN QUALITYThe OLED screen on this device is AMAZING. The resolution is 480x272, which isn't true HD resolution, but you can output HD video with the dock, which is sold separately. The colors on the screen are extremely bright and vivid, and the blacks are extremely dark. And the thing about OLED screens is that when they're displaying black pixels, the screen simply isn't being lit up at those pixels. So, having a lot of black really saves a lot of battery life, not to mention the whites look much, much better on OLED screens then any other screen. HOWEVER, if you're displaying a lot of white, the battery life drains a little faster than usual, which doesn't really matter that much because most of the menus are black anyway. If I was stuck on an island with nothing but my Zune HD and a couply of movies, I would be happy. :)||>>HEADPHONE QUALITYThe headphones that come with the device are pretty good.

The trackball now has additional "back/forward" buttons although they are located in an odd location that requires you to use your index fingers

question: How is the button?, context: The M570 improves on the older Logitech Wireless Trackball in a number of ways. The USB transceiver is now a micro sized unit and is "Unified" so it can work with other "Unified" Logitech wireless devices as well. The trackball now has additional "back/forward" buttons although they are located in an odd location that requires you to use your index fingers. Admittedly, I am used to using my thumb for those buttons on a mouse but there's nowhere to place them with the big trackball in the way. The ball is also very tight and does not spin as freely as the original wireless trackball. It almost feels "gritty". The battery life is superb with a single NiMH AA, although the original trackball had excellent battery life as well. If you suffer from CTS, get a wireless trackball. There is far less clutter and it just plain works.Overall: 4/5 stars!

HDMI

question: How is the quality of the image?, context: Price was great, shipping was fast.Worked great between my Panasonic LCD and Home theater for about 3 weeks.Then for some reason the Panasonic Viera Link stopped working correctly.I assumed it was the home theater unit and spent 2 hours on the phone with Panasonic reseting and checking both the TV and home theater a number of times.Finally just for the heck of it we swapped out the HDMI cable with another I had bought at the same time. Still no go. Then I used another cable I had bought from the same vendor almost a year earlier, and the problem stopped. You could feel the difference in the tighness of the connectors of the last cable I tried.All three cables were from eForcity. Don't know what to say about that except, buy more than 1 and preferably from different vendors. I think charging $20-$40 is criminal, but I would pay $10 for a known to be decent cable. I think eForcity would eventually make it right, but a person would be more likely to think it's the hardware malfunctioning since the cable still works to some degree. That's what the 1.3b rating is about. Unfortunately there are no easy ways to tell if a cable is good other than to swap it out unless you have the proper measuring and testing equipment.Update 07/06/09--eForcity must be complimented for their customer service. I received two replacement cables shortly after notifying them.They worked but I stuck with the original cable I had bought from them a year ago. As I stated before, apparently a cable can work for awhile and then fail partially due to the high data transfer rates. The replacement cables are working okay on another less sophisticated system.Great pricing, but you take a chance here. Also, the ad states HDMI 1.3b specs, but the packaging only says 1.3, which is not the same spec!I would upgrade eForcity's star rating just based on their customer service and the original cable I have from them but it can't be changed at this point.

Firstly, its a nice looking, compact, solid device.I have used it to stream video

question: How to use the device?, context: Firstly, its a nice looking, compact, solid device.I have used it to stream video to and iPhone, iPad3, and an HTC One S. The video has been flawless, never a single stutter. Getting pictures and other files on my devices has been flawless as well.I just used it in a desert racing environment and it held up superbly. I was able to download video we were recording in the field and photos also taken in the field, to it and then wirelessly stream the footage/files to the required mobile devices in the field. Being able to stream to multiple devices without wires is a godsend. Multiple people could watch the footage as needed, edits could be made and uploaded quickly. Thanks to this little gem much of the work was done in the field. Unlike others I got over 10 hours usage on a single charge.The unit held up to the dusty environment without issue.I will agree with other reviewers that the included documentation was sparse, but a quick trip to Seagate's site remedied that.The device was very easy and very fast to setup. The apps for the mobile devices downloaded quickly and installed without issue on the iOS and Android devices. I had a password protected wireless network in under 5 minutes...that is hard to beat!0PC operation via USB 3.0 was fast and easy, as expected.I don't have a single complaint about this device. In fact, I will add one or two more in the near future.

Being able to stream to multiple devices without wires is a godsend. Multiple people could watch the footage as needed, edits could be made and uploaded quickly. Thanks to this little gem much of the work was done in the field. Unlike others I got over 10 hours usage on a single charge.The unit held up to the dusty environment without issue.I will agree with other reviewers that the included documentation was sparse, but a quick trip to Seagate's site remedied that.The device was very easy and very fast to setup. The apps for the mobile devices downloaded quickly and installed without issue on the iOS and Android devices. I had a password protected wireless network in under 5 minutes...that is hard to beat!0PC operation via USB 3.0 was fast and easy, as expected.I don't have a single complaint about this device. In fact, I will add one or two more in the near future.

Being that it's all plastic, it's also very light and portable

question: How would you describe the keyboard?, context: great keyboard, feels very cheap. The unit I bought, some of the screws weren't even screwed all the way in. Being that it's all plastic, it's also very light and portable. I do like the multi-touch functionality and the plug and play. You do have to change the mouse speed as this keyboard seems slower than your average laptop trackpad.

question: How is the navigation?, context: The player itself is tiny and very cute. It feels solid and well-made. However, they don't tell you it's optimized for use with the Rhapsody music service, which I thought was a little sneaky. The music service is free for 30 days, then it costs $10 a month thereafter, but you can cancel anytime. I haven't looked at the music they offer and probably never will. I didn't want a music service. I wanted an MP3 player. Apparently, there are features for this MP3 player that are only available through the Rhapsody download. I haven't set it up yet so I don't know what that means. The owner's manual is a PDF file on the San Disk site, if you can find it. If you register your player with them, they may share your information with overseas sites that aren't secure. Spiffy. At least they're upfront about it, in a vivid red ink disclaimer, but still...why??? The player has a built-in FM radio and microphone. The display is very easy to read. It is packaged with ear buds and a USB charger.June 10, 2013: UPDATE!Okay, now that I've finished having a panic attack, I can happily report I was wrong about the Sansa Clip+ MP3 player. The Rhapsody Music Service software CD is optional. I used Amazon's Cloud Player download instead. So far, all the device's features are working fine. The ear buds packaged with the Sansa Clip+ are comfortable. The sound quality is excellent. The display is easy to read, even in bright light. The battery charged in less than three hours. I kept thinking the display looked weird, then I realized I was looking at a stick-on screen protector. It peeled off easily and left no residue behind. The menus are simple and well thought out. All the controls are easy to find, easy to use. The USB 2.0 transfer cable is very short, about 9 inches long, but it wasn't a problem. The Sansa Clip+ plugged in to my laptop and the music transfer was a breeze! If you want a tiny, but well-made and easy to use MP3 player, buy the Sansa Clip+ MP3 player.

the quality is actually great. I am heard clearly and I can also hear clearly too. The volume that you can get with these headphone is amazing. Very loud, so be careful how high you have the volume.Conection:I have been very disapointed with the conectivity of these headphones. It is rated for about 30 ft range and my headphones cut out at about 10 ft. Also when I look down, most time to see what I am doing or where I am walking, the headphones cut out. I've held the left side of the base of the headphones and aperantly there is a deathgrip in signal there.Pros:+ Great quality+

question: How was the quality?, context: As stated, these are my first headphones that I get that are bluetooth. I have had them for about half a month and used them very often. I walk to campus about every day to go to class and I hear music with these. It has been a great upgrade from any wired headphones and there is no wire to mess with.Audio:Audio is basic for stereo headphones. There is nothing amazing about the base in these headphones. I have mixed the settings alot on the headphones and my phone to see what is the best I can get from the headphones. With the seetings at it's best the headphones are about basic for audio quality. I've gotten better quality sound from $15 Skullcandy headphones (Skullcandy Ink'd S2INBI-UB).Phone usage:Used them every once and a while to answer phone calls and the quality is actually great. I am heard clearly and I can also hear clearly too. The volume that you can get with these headphone is amazing. Very loud, so be careful how high you have the volume.Conection:I have been very disapointed with the conectivity of these headphones.

I've held the left side of the base of the headphones and aperantly there is a deathgrip in signal there.Pros:+ Great quality+ Earbuds have magnets that connect it to the base when not in use+ Vibrate and ring when call comes in (even is cell is on silent)+ Very light+ Can be very load+ Clear call qualities+ Great battery life (last me all day of ussage)Cons:- Poor audio quality- Connection limits- Deathgrip on the left side- Somestimes a little too loudGreat for what it is as a bluetooth headset for a phone, but needs to improve audio quality for it to be a great set of headphones.I would've rated these as a four star but since they are advertised as stereo headsets. It needs alot of improvement to get good ratings. I rate them as three star as headphones, but I rate them as four star as bluetooth headphones. Much better than those that just go in one ear.

the price I just threw it away instead of returning it

question: How was the power supply?, context: I got this its way to small you can not use all the ports at once unless you are using only flash drives. The cord is only 6 or 7 inches long. Maybe it will work for a laptop but then you have to have skinny usb items plugged in. It's a joke and for the price I just threw it away instead of returning it.

I got about 6.8 Mbps download and 1.3 Mbps upload

question: How is the speed?, context: I install this modem easily and called Comcast, who took 15 minutes to provision the modem. Directly connected to my old Belkin F5D5530-W modem, I got about 6.8 Mbps download and 1.3 Mbps upload, according to [...]. After installing this Motorola SB6120 modem and connecting directly to it, I got 21 Mbps download and 4.8 Mbps upload. What a big difference! I only have the "Performance" high speed internet service, which is supposed to be 12 Mbps/ 2 Mbps (up to 15 Mbps/3 Mbps with PowerBoost).The downside is that when I connected it to my existing Belkin F5D7230-4 Wireless G Router, the speed decreased to 13.9 Mbps / 2.8 Mbps. Does anyone know if the router is causing the speed to slow? Would a newer router help? Any tips on what to do?Although I'm not using the modem to it's potential at the moment, the speeds are still faster than they were before. The modem is worth the money I paid.

I was able to zoom in as planes landed and you can see the pilot's faces as they were landing

question: How is the auto focus?, context: I am not a professional photographer, it is a hobby. I had a telephoto zoom lens on an old Canon AT-1 film camera but I haven't used that camera in many years. I was amazed at how close this telephoto lens got to the subject. The day I got the lens I went to shoot a building in town for the webpage. I put the EF-S 55-250mm lens on the camera and walked the three blocks to the building. I could not get the building in the frame without crossing the street and introducing traffic and traffic lights into the picture. I used the kit lens (EF-S 18-55 mm) and got the shot. I have used the lens at a Fly-In at the local airport. I was able to zoom in as planes landed and you can see the pilot's faces as they were landing. Also you could get great shots of the aircraft taking off and get several shots after they were in the air. The shots were always sharp no matter how far the subject was away from the camera. I remember from the old AT-1 zoom, the further the object was away from the camera the more a tripod was needed. Not with this lens. The IS worked very nicely and every shot was sharp. I would recommend this lens.

How is the auto focus?

I was able to zoom in as planes landed and you can see the pilot's faces as they were landing .

I am not a professional photographer, it is a hobby. I had a telephoto zoom lens on an old Canon AT-1 film camera but I haven't used that camera in many years. I was amazed at how close this telephoto lens got to the subject. The day I got the lens I went to shoot a building in town for the webpage.

The speakers are still great. I'll eventually

question: What strange speaker?, context: I paired these with an ancient Pioneer VSX-D411 5.1 Amp. For those of you worried that you need a new amp to go with these speakers, the answer is not really. The speakers are still great. I'll eventually upgrade the amp to get a HDMI capable one for the losless/HD sound. But for now these speakers are wonderful.The center speaker is amazing, you really can hear the actors voices clearly over loud music or effects. The rear speakers are very pronounced, you can hear background noise very well and get a better sound stage. For $400 (at the time of this review) you can't beat these speakers. I went into a BOSE store this weekend and all of their speakers sounded just as good as these, except these speakers only cost $400.The only negative I'd say is the subwoofer is to me, huge. Others said it was small, I guess that is relative. While the sattelite speakers are definitely small, the subwoofer is not what I would call small and difficult to place.Also, others said the speakers are difficult to mount to a wall. I don't think so at all. They may have missed that there are several screw options on the back. (I actually bothered to read the instructions). I mounted my speakers to the wall with no problems.For a medium to small room, these speakers are perfect. If you have a very large room you may want to consider more powerful speakers and amp.

The user interface is easier and more direct than either the smart tv and blu ray player

question: How is the quality of the interface?, context: This device is my go to method for all streaming needs! I own multiple devices that provide streaming access to Netflix but none that provides access to amazon prime. The user interface is easier and more direct than either the smart tv and blu ray player. I enjoy shows on the Revision 3 channel such as CNet reviews, HD Nation, and Tekzilla. The PBS channel provides access to current shows not available on Cox OnDemand. Would love to watch Fox Now and others like that but don't have access because of Cox (no fault of Roku). I am currently reformatting my movie ISO files into .mp4 containers so that I can stream directly from the Plex channel. The headphone works well and will certainly be put to use while working out on the elliptical. Never have any buffering issues as it is connected via the Ethernet option. Easy to install and works with my Logitech remote control. Just bought another for a Christmas gift. Love it!!!

Holy

question: How is the price?, context: Holy hell. How is this even possible? These headphones were like 6 bucks (the white ones are cheaper) and... they have great sound. If you turn them up super loud, there's a little rattling or &#34;fuzz,&#34; but whatever they're 6 dollar ear buds lol. They have seriously impressive bass and the fit is fantastic. I've tried several pairs of ear buds in my life, and I've always thought I had stupid ears because they always fall out. These ARE NOT CYLINDERS. The whole thing is shaped... weird. And it's awesome. SERIOUSLY, THIS BASS DUDE. Get these. These are the ones you want. Jeeze this bass is f****** incredible.

subwoofer looks great next to the entertainment center

question: Why is the sub great for music?, context: Let's start from something that was not very important for me, but that was for my wife: this subwoofer looks great next to the entertainment center. It is well finished, elegant, and understated enough to not be just a bulky piece of wood in the middle of the room. Understated, that is, until you switch it in. The sound is deep, powerful and very pleasant. Even at low volume, it makes a difference. For the price point, I could not find a better product.

BEAUTIFUL device

question: Does the technical specs better then generic cables?, context: I am laughing when I hear people say iPad is helping their productivity. Regardless whether you like Android or not, Samsung has managed to create a BEAUTIFUL device, that is extremely helpful. Creating presentations (not just reading them), editing documents (not just previewing them) and using the pen for writing notes AND searching in them (yes, when you take hand written notes, this device recognizes your handwriting and makes your notes SEARCHABLE with full text search!). I made a lot of iPad users Samsung envy... Well, this is not a toy, it's a tool!The screen is fantastically bright and the system is amazingly fast. I love the multi-window multitasking is unprecedented. Is there any other device that let's you watch a movie, write an email and have an instant messaging all on one screen in the same time?

Text is easier to read

question: What text do you prefer?, context: The first one of these I bought was over a year ago for a home office. Job changed so the monitor became part of a multi display home office along with a Dell monitor from years ago.The difference in picture quality is enough that I got another Asus to replace the dell. The Asus monitor is much brighter, higher contrast, and deeper colors. Text is easier to read. This is in all ambient light conditions I've had to deal with. These are the VS247H-P 23.6 inch displays.About the stand. It is not up to the job. If your desk is rock solid it will hold the monitor, but if you have desks that shudder every time someone passes by, or when you nudge it inadvertently, the monitor will wobble annoyingly. Dell does have solid stands on the monitors they sell. So when I ordered the second I didn't bother attaching the stand. Instead I removed the &#34;neck&#34; and attached both monitors to a two monitor VESA compliant stand: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002R9HQLI/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1Now they are both rock solid (or at least as solid as the cheap desk they're on). If you get a single monitor consider one of the monitor stands Amazon sells for single displays.Haven't attempted the rebate process. I'll report back on that.

The first one of these I bought was over a year ago for a home office. Job changed so the monitor became part of a multi display home office along with a Dell monitor from years ago. The difference in picture quality is enough that I got another Asus to replace the dell.

These ones have less bass, yet deeper and more precise bass

question: How good is the bass?, context: These are so good! To me, they sound better than my skullcandy ink'd earbuds which were my best before I got these. The skullcandy ones sounded really harsh and weren't very clear, but they had awesome bass because they sort of made a seal with your ear. These ones have less bass, yet deeper and more precise bass. They don't really make that seal with your ear, but it's kind of nice because they don't hurt your ear drums if you take them out fast. The skullcandy headphones were just kind of like TONS of OK bass, but these you can play deep rap or electronic music on and hear all those low notes along with the 10-16k high pitched stuff as well, without all the 3-4k harsh stuff (for the more technichal people out there). These are just amazing. Buy them.

I wouldn't buy a different one

question: Does this product much better?, context: I purchased this trackball January of last year (2011). Since then, it's put up with 10-12 hour per day usage. I wouldn't buy a different one, even if there was another of its type on the market.Pros:- Thumb ball design- Battery life is amazing (plus ships with a name brand battery)- Programmable buttons- Storage compartment on the mouse for the receiverCons:- Wireless (some would list this as a pro, but I really prefer a wired mouse. If your desk gets as dirty as mine, you'll understand why the first time you lose it)- Tracks get dirty quickly- Troubleshooting software requires a mouse -.-Overall, this is a great mouse, if only a little overpriced. But this is the only option, so I suppose Logitech would jack the price up a bit. If you're like me, and have been using this type of mouse since before you were potty trained, you'll want to get it. The range is about 15 feet, assuming no obstacles, and the response time is good enough for average gamers and home users. But really, if you're comparing response times, you should be going for a wired mouse (usually).Just a note on Logitech's support. I've had mixed experiences with Logitech's support, having been an original Revue owner. Recently though, I had to put in for the warranty on this device, as it was acting up and losing connection when it was used for long periods of time. Their support times were amazing, and after going through a few troubleshooting steps and giving them some personal info, they put in for a replacement. Four business days later, and I just plugged in the mouse a short while ago. That is incredible in my opinion.TL;DR: If you're used to a thumb ball, you have no other choice. Go buy it.

The sound is decent

question: Do you think the audio is very strong?, context: We have been using the Hero 2 for a couple of years and have loved it. We use our Hero for taking video of skiing, rafting, body boarding, and getting underwater images. So we were excited to give the Hero 3 a try. The Hero 2 is a great camera, and the Hero 3 follows in that tradition, but the redesign has resulted in a few problem areas. Below are the pros and cons after nearly four weeks of use:Pros- It is perhaps 30% thinner than the Hero 2. The slim form factor is immediately noticeable and welcome. I always felt the 2 was too bulky.- Using the menu system is about the same. That is, you use a pair of buttons to navigate through a series of two-level menus. Your options show up on the small LCD screen on the front of the Hero. The great thing about the Hero 3 Black Edition is that you can control the menus via a mobile iOS app over WiFi. The app greatly enhances the the ease of use of the Hero 3. If you don't use the app (or the add-on LCD screen), be sure you practice navigating the menus and understanding the camera's features before you use it. The menu and features are moderately intuitive but we need to refer to the user's manual for one-off features.- The WiFi on the Black version is great. As mentioned before, the iOS app let's you change the camera's settings, but it also allows you to preview what the camera sees without having to buy the $70 LCD add-on. Using the WiFi feature was very easy and makes this camera worth the price. You can remotely start recording set the recording features (resolution, time lapse, etc.) The Black edition also comes with a rechargeable wireless remote that replicates the small monochrome LCD screen on the Hero 3. You can navigate the two-level menu on your remote like you would on the Hero 3 itself.- The quality of the captured video is amazing. You can select resolutions from VGA through 4k cinema quality. We use ours at HD resolution and get great results. The lens is wide angle, so you capture all of the action.- The camera is very versatile. One of our favorite features is the looping feature that allows the camera to loop back over itself.- You can save your video in RAW camera format to do significant post-processing. This is a great feature for pros. It also has a "Protune" feature that records at 24 fpm (a TV standard).- You can take photos while it records video. This feature works great, giving us clear wide-angle shots.- The LCD and extra battery pack that we used with our Hero 2 also work with the Hero 3CONS- The camera is fast and responsive, but a couple of times the camera has frozen while I'm paging through menus. I have the latest firmware update, so maybe another one is needed by GoPro. We have to shutdown the camera to unfreeze it.- The sound is decent, but not super-clear. GoPro makes it clear that using the waterproof case will muffle the sound. Well, that's the price you pay for a waterproof case. With the standard case, the sound is better. Without a case, the sound is very acceptable (but it still doesn't match the quality of the video). We have not tried out the external mic, but it wold be a good idea to use it if great sound is important to you.- The battery life is only about two hours in our best case. A second battery would a good idea.CONCLUSIONA great camera. It is the first generation of an overhaul, so you might well-served waiting for the Hero 4, but the Hero 3 really is a good choice if you want to get your adventures on film. We love using it for filming wildlife (using the MiFi iOS app), on rollercoasters, etc. THe positives definitely outweigh the negatives. Fun, versatile, professional camera.

excellent function

question: How good is the pen?, context: I know most people probably stay away from this stylus because of it's price. Well, let me be the first to tell you that it is without a doubt, worth every penny. For a price of $10~ shipped, you get frustration free packaging, and a Stylus that has a perfect weight, excellent function, and (IMHO) a great look to it. Just the right length as well.I can't say enough positive about it. I've tried it on all of my touchscreen devices, Samsung Epic, Galaxy tab 10.1, Ipod... and I think that's it. But it works great.

question: What is the lenght of this cable?, context: I have been using this for the last three months and it is working really well. I had bought 2 cheap ones on ebay and it stopped working in a month. This has worked in my car as well as in laptop and I dont have to worry about adjusting the cable or any of that sort. The cable is quite thick which gives the wear and tear. If someone is looking for a good quality cable at a cheaper price than from Apple store, I would recommend this.

8 GB SD

question: How much storage does the nook have?, context: I upgraded from my 8 GB SD to this one and it was great to have the extra space.No problems with it.I removed the SD card from my phone and copied the files up to my computer using the adapter that came with the new card. I copied the files to my new 32 GB MicroSDHC and installed it in my Galaxy S4 and it worked great.I liked the color. Makes it easier to see on my black desk.

sound quality is excellent (TV and speakers connected by Monster RCA Cables [not provided with packaging], also purchased from Amazon). The sounds are clear

question: How is the sound?, context: These speakers are great! they are not the prettiest looking speakers, but the quality of the sound, even at high volumes, is great. The satellites and subwoofer are fairly big, so if you're tight on space try something else.I have this connected to a TV for movie watching and the sound quality is excellent (TV and speakers connected by Monster RCA Cables [not provided with packaging], also purchased from Amazon). The sounds are clear, crisp, and powerful.I also have an AUX out so that i can connect my laptop/ipod/iphone/other MP3 devices and the sound quality is excellent. Being able to control the bass is great so when listening to hip hop or rap you can turn the bass up and really start to rattle things in your home. These speakers are great, and would buy them again given the chance. For the price point this is probably the best 2.1 system money can buy.Some have been complaining about popping noises from their speakers, i personally have not experienced this. These speakers have been very reliable and will play at any volume you choose for hours on end.

sound is a good balanced neutral and true

question: How is the base?, context: Once I adjusted the eq on my media player and installed my favorite eartips from my broken earphones, these are amazing for the price. The base really thumps which I did not expect and overall the sound is a good balanced neutral and true. Only issue is the cord. Wish it was thicker or covered in a cloth casing. Will be buying another and pit away in case these are discontinued or changed in a bad way.

System is VERY responsive

question: How is system?, context: Bought a laptop mainly for school and decided to change the 5400 RPM hard drive to this. Everything went blazing fast after the upgrade. System is VERY responsive, never had any issues of slow downs and lags. Boots up the system in less than 15 seconds from cold shut down, I don't even need to worry about putting my laptop on my bag anymore because it does not have any moving parts inside, I don't have to worry about any damage anymore if things get bumpy or data loss, battery life has also improved quite a bit. Even web browsing went a lot more smoother.

camper. Have added a star since it was this easy. That still doesn't negate the fact that it should have been included in the first place with so many sites still using Flash.The charge and HDMI ports are on the long edge rather than the short as is on my other Kindles (and the original Fire I believe). When you want to do HDMI out to a TV you can only turn it one way if you want to tilt it up which may, depending on the case you buy, totally defeat the stand in the case. In the case of the Marware leather rotating case you can't close the case when charging because the ports are to the inside.Volume and On-Off buttons are flush with the case and almost impossible to find by feel. Since the only visual cue for which way you are holding it is the camera lens this makes it difficult in a darkened room.No GPS. This isn't a deal breaker, but would have been nice. I suppose they thought since it needs wireless people wouldn't use it like that, but I could always turn on my phone's Mobile Hotspot to use Google maps IF I had a GPS.The ads. I own other Kindles and have never felt the need to turn them off. They were unobtrusive

question: How is laptop?, context: Let me begin this by saying that I used to be an "early adopter". I had to have it when it first came out. I've stopped doing that, but in this case I wish I had bought the first Fire. From using a friend's I was excited when they finally announced the second gen devices. The original was simple to use and did most things I wanted it to. This one is incredibly hard to figure out, even with years of techy experience and is more limited in its use.PROS -Feels solid and well built.Anti-glare screen is nice, and the screen is vibrant. It's not Retina, but then it didn't cost like one so I'm OK with that.Some have reported it being slow and unresponsive, but I haven't had much of a problem except when in apps I know have problems from them doing the same to my phone. Videos streamed from Amazon look really good.Book reading is surprisingly good for a backlit screen. Page turns are quick and although they lack the book like "charm" of the Kindle reader page turns it is an acceptable substitute.Screen brightness is good and you can see the screen pretty well outdoors. I have turned off automatic screen brightness though. I find the values it chooses too bright in most cases and have mine set slightly less than 50%.CONS -No AC adapter included. Would that have really been that much of a stretch to include?No flash support. UPDATE: Well...no official flash support. Thanks to the comment from TomT below I was able to install both flash and my preferred browser (Dolphin) in a few minutes. Google Flash 11.1 apk and follow the xda developer links...will walk you right through it. Now if I can get Google Voice working so I can use sonar I'll be a happy camper.

I own other Kindles and have never felt the need to turn them off. They were unobtrusive and didn't really affect my use of the device. I even went for them occasionally. The ones on the new Kindle are ridiculous. Everywhere you turn they are in your face just waiting for an errant touch to purchase something you don't mean to and taking up screen space. People who care for children or the elderly should be extra vigilant for unintended purchases.Lack of many apps in the app store that I use daily on my Android phone and would use on the Kindle if they were there. It's clear Amazon doesn't want to take any chances that you might stream something online that doesn't belong to them. No TNT app, no USA app, no CW app. I assume the others that I don't use like HBO and Showtime aren't there either? No support for PowerDVD Remote and PowerDVD Mobile which would allow me to stream my own personal videos from my network rather than having to either upload them to the cloud or onto the device. Can't access my Dropbox either. I use my phone as a remote constantly when streaming from my HTPC to my TV and I was hoping I could use the Kindle that way too.Apps that work perfectly well on my phone throw error after error on the Kindle's "special" version. Examples: Words with Friends, no paid version and ads lock up the device. Tweetcaster constantly throws the 350 connections per hour message and I am not a heavy user. It throws this one when all I do is check it once in a while and have it set on manual refresh. I ended up in Twitter Jail the first night I had the Kindle and I didn't tweet a single thing! Never had this happen on my phone.Every app you download results in a "purchase" email from Amazon...even the free ones. I have an avalanche of them in my inbox just from setting it up. (Yes, I know this happens for phones as well. I make the comment to point it out to those that don't know. Amazon should have a better way worked out to handle this by now and since Kindle is part of their proprietary environment and since Kindle is a part of that this is part of owning one.)The Carousel? I hate it. Everything goes on it as soon as you load or use it even if you don't want it to. There may be a way to fine tune this, but if there is I haven't found it yet. I put a few favorite songs on the device for when I'm not near wireless and it showed each individual song on the Carousel. The UI is cluttered and as far as I can see there is no way to alter it to better serve your personal needs. No way to clear the Carousel either. You have to remove items one by one. (If anyone knows how to change this please do let me know.)The main screen is obviously front loaded to get you to buy stuff..with the few things things that get around the spoon feeding of ads and buying stuff all the way to the right like photos and web.UPDATE: I had not attempted to use the camera. There is no software included to make use of the camera. The User guide says you can download Skype and that it MAY work with other apps in the store, but there is no way to use it without downloading something and experimentation to see what apps might work with it. Why include the camera if they aren't going to give you something to help use it?No alarm clock app included. Now I know there are apps that will do this, but it's pretty much a basic inclusion on most mobile devices these days.Haven't decided if I will return or wait and hope Amazon offers some software updates that make it more acceptable. It's a brilliant hardware upgrade hogtied by Amazon's watered-down version of Android and the lack of basic apps like camera/alarm that we have all come to expect. I haven't tested the HDMI out yet, since my micro-HDMI cable hasn't arrived yet. Will update this review next week when I get that.

It throws this one when all I do is check it once in a while and have it set on manual refresh. I ended up in Twitter Jail the first night I had the Kindle and I didn't tweet a single thing! Never had this happen on my phone.Every app you download results in a "purchase" email from Amazon...even the free ones. I have an avalanche of them in my inbox just from setting it up. (Yes, I know this happens for phones as well. I make the comment to point it out to those that don't know. Amazon should have a better way worked out to handle this by now and since Kindle is part of their proprietary environment and since Kindle is a part of that this is part of owning one.)The Carousel? I hate it. Everything goes on it as soon as you load or use it even if you don't want it to. There may be a way to fine tune this, but if there is I haven't found it yet. I put a few favorite songs on the device for when I'm not near wireless and it showed each individual song on the Carousel. The UI is cluttered and as far as I can see there is no way to alter it to better serve your personal needs. No way to clear the Carousel either. You have to remove items one by one. (If anyone knows how to change this please do let me know.)The main screen is obviously front loaded to get you to buy stuff..with the few things things that get around the spoon feeding of ads and buying stuff all the way to the right like photos and web.UPDATE: I had not attempted to use the camera. There is no software included to make use of the camera. The User guide says you can download Skype and that it MAY work with other apps in the store, but there is no way to use it without downloading something and experimentation to see what apps might work with it. Why include the camera if they aren't going to give you something to help use it?No alarm clock app included. Now I know there are apps that will do this, but it's pretty much a basic inclusion on most mobile devices these days.Haven't decided if I will return or wait and hope Amazon offers some software updates that make it more acceptable. It's a brilliant hardware upgrade hogtied by Amazon's watered-down version of Android and the lack of basic apps like camera/alarm that we have all come to expect. I haven't tested the HDMI out yet, since my micro-HDMI cable hasn't arrived yet. Will update this review next week when I get that.

Let me begin this by saying that I used to be an "early adopter". I had to have it when it first came out. I've stopped doing that, but in this case I wish I had bought the first Fire. From using a friend's I was excited when they finally announced the second gen devices. The original was simple to use and did most things I wanted it to. This one is incredibly hard to figure out, even with years of techy experience and is more limited in its use. PROS -Feels solid and well built. Anti-glare screen is nice, and the screen is vibrant. It's not Retina, but then it didn't cost like one so I'm OK with that. Some have reported it being slow and unresponsive, but I haven't had much of a problem except when in apps I know have problems from them doing the same to my phone. Videos streamed from Amazon look really good. Book reading is surprisingly good for a backlit screen. Page turns are quick and although they lack the book like "charm" of the Kindle reader page turns it is an acceptable substitute. Screen brightness is good and you can see the screen pretty well outdoors. I have turned off automatic screen brightness though. I find the values it chooses too bright in most cases and have mine set slightly less than 50%.CONS -No AC adapter included. Would that have really been that much of a stretch to include?No flash support. UPDATE: Well...no official flash support. Thanks to the comment from TomT below I was able to install both flash and my preferred browser (Dolphin) in a few minutes. Google Flash 11.1 apk and follow the xda developer links...will walk you right through it. <hl> Now if I can get Google Voice working so I can use sonar I'll be a happy camper. Have added a star since it was this easy. That still doesn't negate the fact that it should have been included in the first place with so many sites still using Flash.The charge and HDMI ports are on the long edge rather than the short as is on my other Kindles (and the original Fire I believe). When you want to do HDMI out to a TV you can only turn it one way if you want to tilt it up which may, depending on the case you buy, totally defeat the stand in the case. In the case of the Marware leather rotating case you can't close the case when charging because the ports are to the inside.Volume and On-Off buttons are flush with the case and almost impossible to find by feel. Since the only visual cue for which way you are holding it is the camera lens this makes it difficult in a darkened room.No GPS. This isn't a deal breaker, but would have been nice. I suppose they thought since it needs wireless people wouldn't use it like that, but I could always turn on my phone's Mobile Hotspot to use Google maps IF I had a GPS.The ads. I own other Kindles and have never felt the need to turn them off. They were unobtrusive and didn't really affect my use of the device. <hl> I even went for them occasionally. The ones on the new Kindle are ridiculous. Everywhere you turn they are in your face just waiting for an errant touch to purchase something you don't mean to and taking up screen space. People who care for children or the elderly should be extra vigilant for unintended purchases. Lack of many apps in the app store that I use daily on my Android phone and would use on the Kindle if they were there. It's clear Amazon doesn't want to take any chances that you might stream something online that doesn't belong to them. No TNT app, no USA app, no CW app. I assume the others that I don't use like HBO and Showtime aren't there either? No support for PowerDVD Remote and PowerDVD Mobile which would allow me to stream my own personal videos from my network rather than having to either upload them to the cloud or onto the device. Can't access my Dropbox either. I use my phone as a remote constantly when streaming from my HTPC to my TV and I was hoping I could use the Kindle that way too. Apps that work perfectly well on my phone throw error after error on the Kindle's "special" version. Examples: Words with Friends, no paid version and ads lock up the device.

These headphones were too big for my head

question: How was the headphone?, context: These headphones were too big for my head, I have to tilt them at an odd angle to sit them on my head. They also pinch my ears after wearing them for more than 2 hours. That being said, I use them for doing QA in medical transcription, and the sound is superior (at least for the spoken word with background noise) to help me fill in the blanks! Still on the hunt for the perfect pair. All things being equal, I prefer earbuds also. These get too hot for me even in 65-degree weather-although that is not the earphones fault! I forgot to mention the sound volume is very low, I can turn my computer to the max, plus the software to the max and still have them on my head.

unrecognized drive

question: Who is the driver?, context: ///Update: 26Oct2012///After some Googling, I found that it is a common issue with WD that you cannot view two or more HD's plugged in. There are several fixes, but the most common and reliable way is to go to your Computer Management (Windows) and click the unrecognized drive "online". You can then assign it a different Drive Letter which will then allow you to see it every time you plug it in. Without going into too much details, basically WD assigned the same signature to the drives that is why it is showing up as one drive at a time. As a result, I moved the rating up to 5 stars. Enjoy!///Original: 12Oct2012///I love how small it still is (compared to a regular 1TB). When I travel I try to maximize my contents without compromising the weight and space taken. I often have to travel in just a backpack for several days so having the drive is perfect for having my digital movies and tv because it does not require an adapter for power (just USB) and it does not take up so much room. Because of the amount of files I own, I ended up buying 3 of these (only needed 2, but didn't realize I previously bought one already).I do however have some issues with it. Unfortunately, laptops cannot recognize two of the same type of drive. So if you were to transfer files from one drive to the next, you much use a median to temporarily store your data first (ie. laptop itself or a non-WD 2TB Passport Drive).Other than that, I am quite satisfied. Data transfer with USB 3.0 is noticeably superior to USB 2.0. In comparison to cheaper drives with USB 3.0 (not to cause blame on other drives), this performed data transfer faster and more consistently. I have used mine for some time now and through my travels overseas and it is still going strong even with the climate changes (extreme hot in the desert and snowing winter).Bottom line, a must have item for large media files during any time of travels due to its capacity, portability, and size. Just don't expect to be able to plug two at one time to your laptop and see both of them.

are good reviews on it

question: How are both sides with respect to the angle?, context: When the Asus PA248Q 24 inch LED IPS monitor arrived overnight on my doorstep (You have to love Amazon Prime) I recieved a much better monitor than expected. The monitor is packaged very well and arrived as expected. There are good reviews on it. Let me add a few things that I never saw listed.This is my fifth IPS monitor purchased in the last eight years. I don't waste my time on TN glass. Several things led me to the purchase of the Asus monitor: Overall good reviews, no coating smudges and the color gamut, and the USB 3.0 ports. I considered the PA246Q monitor for a few more dollars but chose this one for the USB ports.It worked perfectly out of the box and the first noticable difference was the color. It is incredible and it puts the colors on my old Gateway FPD2485W monitor to shame. They run next to each other, the Gateway turned up for vertical use. The Asus also runs much cooler - warm to the touch and nothing close to the Gateway furnace. I suspect that it the LED that makes the difference.It had some unexpected surprises. First, the bezel surrounding the screen is smaller. The stand is well built and very sturdy. The monitor cannot wiggle around. You can read about the ports. And it has the picture-in-picture feature of the Asus 246Q monitor; somethingthat is not listed in Amazon's description of the product. Better yet, I plugged in my USB 3.0 portable hard drive; it powered up easily and my computer quickly recognized it. I used it all day with no problems. I had not expected that.Setup is easy. The colors are accurate. I love the 5-way rocker switch. I love the different adjustments it allows. I suppose if there is a downside it would be that it is extremely bright even at the lowest settings. But my aging eyes see it well and I am getting used to it. White leans toward the blue part of the spectrum (LED again) but changing colors does not affect the white color or the black. A black background on your screen seems "shiny" and deep compared to flatter monitors but it is easily covered with a dark grey or light black background. The colors are so fantastic one might as well use photos instead.At 6ms refresh, there is no noticable ghosting in games. That is pretty quick for an IPS monitor. And again the colors make the game so much more immersive.Considering the fact that I spent over $600 on my last IPS monitor, I am going to buy another one and run them side by side. My only disappointment was that Amazon lowered the price by $45 the day after it arrived. Talk about bad luck. Still, it is a great deal. My advise: Buy it.My last comment: There were NO BAD PIXELS!

The camera takes excellent pictures and is pretty rugged. I take it both hiking and scuba diving (have the case). It is easy to use. Like all items, I recommend reading the manual. Yes, I said read the book! The camera is lightweight and requires a steady hand. The biggest mistake I made with the camera is snapping the picture and moving the camera right after it

question: How was the camera?, context: I have had this camera for over a year. I upgraded from an SD400, SD500 to the SD1000. The camera takes excellent pictures and is pretty rugged. I take it both hiking and scuba diving (have the case). It is easy to use. Like all items, I recommend reading the manual. Yes, I said read the book! The camera is lightweight and requires a steady hand. The biggest mistake I made with the camera is snapping the picture and moving the camera right after it. Give it a second to record the image. It is pretty fast, but if you are use to a film camera, you will end up blurring some of the pictures. I plan to get another one just to have as a spare. It's that good.

The sound is so much better and richer on both devices

question: What about sound?, context: I wasn't expecting much out of these because of mixed reviews. I am not into new and technical stuff. But I have a tv/dvd player that really needs help when it comes to the speakers. I can hear fine, but spouse is losing some hearing. Anyway I got this mainly for the portable tv/dvd player that I really like (RCA)- for the travel trailer. So that's what I tried it with first. COMPLETE AND AWESOME change to the sound. Tried it on my ipod next. AWESOME. The sound is so much better and richer on both devices. Tried it on a portable radio, OOPS, all static. with it plugged in , without- radio is fine...not designed for that older type radio I guess.I can't speak to the durability because I haven't had it long. After I used it, I packaged it back up what it came in, instead of just the little carrying bag that comes with it. The whole package is small, and adds extra protection. But for us, it won't be used daily, etc.I think it's well worth the money I spent.

Battery life is impressive

question: How is the battery life?, context: Purchased it as a gift for my husband for his graduation from college (he did it while working 60 hours and being a fulltime student - not easy!) He loved it, we do play games on it with each other such as board games! He likes to read his books on it as well! Battery life is impressive but drains faster on some games though!

The bass is great

question: How are the bass?, context: Really impressed. Even for the price i paid these are LOUD with great quality sound. The bass is great, i love the little control unit as well.The one drawback i'd include with this is the speakers are a bit too sensitive to whatever direction theyre facing. That is to say, if the speakers aren't directly facing you, they suffer a great deal of clarity unless you jack the volume much louder than necessary.

the thing is perfect for the first few months and then the foam bottom gets less

question: How helpfull could be this unit?, context: Like others have noted, the thing is perfect for the first few months and then the foam bottom gets less "sticky" over time. I don't use any armor all or anything but windex on the dash. The foam just loses its ability to grip. What helps is scratching the foam up to restore the grip. But...you can only do that so often before you are left with no more foam.

iOS

question: How is the device?, context: This is mainly a review for previous fourth generation usersApple iPod touch 32 GB White (4th Generation) CURRENT MODELupgrading to the Fifth Generation iPod touchApple iPod touch 32GB White (5th Generation) NEWEST MODEL.Background: I bought my first iOS device in December 2011 (4th Gen. 32GB iPod touch - White). It was everything I wanted and needed. Anyways, I had watched the keynote in September 2012, thinking "No matter what, I'm keeping my old iPod touch". By the end of the presentation, I was drooling over the new one. So, I sold my 4th gen. and bought this one in December 2012. Best choice ever.Upgrades over Fourth Generation:Build: It is so sleek compared to the 4th gen. I love the feel, and the "squarer" sides make it easier to hold and press the volume and power buttons. It is slightly harder to rest in my hand (my pinky acts as the support), but I attribute that to not having a case. It will wobble the tiniest bit, but having the loop button pushed out when flat helps to stabilize it. Also, the loop strap gives me more control when using one hand (and that is still easy, if not better with my longer fingers).-----------------------------------Screen: The screen size on the 5th gen. is a huge difference from previous generations. A family member still has the 4th, and it amazes me how stocky it looks now. The new length is great, as I do not have to scroll as often, and I can see more of the screen when I am using both hands (and I have small hands). It is definitely more responsive, and no glitches like a previous reviewer stated. The home button is more responsive as well, so I have to learn not to press it so much. The colors are more true to life now, and the screen is not blue or yellow tinted, just normal. The black bars for non-iPod touch 5 (worded as iPhone 5 in the App Store) optimized apps remind me just how small the previous screen was. Most well-known apps are optimized.-----------------------------------Sound: The speaker is slightly louder than the 4th gen. I can officially retire my cereal bowls. However, I have found that having the speaker on the right is a bit of a disadvantage, because I tend to cover it in landscape (right-handed). No biggie. The new EarPods are amazing. They fit much better in my ears, so I can sleep without taking them out. The bass is greatly improved. I never knewRock With You (Single Version)had background bass!-----------------------------------Durability: The anodized aluminum is sturdier than the previous metal back of the 4th gen. The top corner of my iPod just "slapped" the side of a tile counter today, and I was very pleased to not find one nick, scratch, or dent. I have yet to see any scratches (I have the White/Silver), and the back is finger-print resistant for the most part. I managed to get some sticky candy cane residue on the screen and sides last week, but I was able to wipe it off with a cloth. Oh, and the loop is sturdy. I have not yet bought a case because of this, as it is super easy to slip on, and it actually helps me steady the iPod in my hand. I'll probably buy some more loops instead of a case. I hated ruining my 4th gen.'s look with a case, even if it was clear. The iPod can hang by the loop and not fall off, which is good in case I lose my grip. The loop is hard to pull off without loosening it (unlike a Wii Remote strap), and has soft fabric where it meets your arm, so I can tighten it without a loss of circulation.-----------------------------------Speed: So, I had to do a few speed tests with a spare 4th generation. The 5th gen. boots in about ten seconds from reset, the 4th gen. takes 20-30 seconds. I opened the App Store in 6 seconds on the 5th gen., while the 4th gen. took 9 seconds. The Camera app launched in 2 and 3 seconds, so hardly any difference there. Overall, the 5th gen. decreases wait time. I don't find myself tapping my fingers like I'm using a Windows PC. It's a click, then a 5 second wait for games, and a 1 second wait for other apps. Safari is also faster, and connects quickly. I find myself with hardly any startup time, which my 4th gen. could take 5-10 seconds. By the way, my iPod touch has YET to crash at all, not even on Safari (which was a leading crasher on my 4th gen.). Graphic-intensive games no longer freeze, and my iPod only warms slightly (the 4th gen. felt like fire).-----------------------------------Camera: This will be short. It's better, period. You get LED flash (Which is an outstanding flashlight with iHandy's app), HDR for enhancement, and less noise. The 4th gen. catches NOTHING at night, while I was able to take a VERY CLEAR semi-family photo with flash in a pitch black room. The video is smoother, and clearer, and the LED flashlight can be used in conjunction with the video camera. Great for nighttime missions.-----------------------------------Battery life: Please do not pay attention to the lemon reviews. I have great battery life. With no WiFi, I was able to get a whopping ten hours of video, photos, games, and etc. Now, my 4th gen. would have died three times over. The calibration of the battery stays accurate. My 4th gen. showed 40-50% after thirty minutes of gaming. The 5th gen. still showed 65-75%. Awesome in my book, as I like to game without being plugged up. These numbers are with Wifi connected. On weekdays, I get a full day (9 a.m.-10 p.m. | Safari, Stock apps, Plaintext) without needing to charge. Weekends are about five hours (Gaming, communication, videos).-----------------------------------Siri and Dictation: Once she learns your voice, Siri can take you far. She didn't really have problems with my accent (I have a moderate Southern accent, and people said Siri couldn't understand them), so the user feedback must be working. She did have problems with drop (thinking it was job), and check (thinking it was Chad), but those are probably the fault of my own tongue. Dictation actually seems to work better than Siri, and it is better than writing long texts (I'm very thorough). I also enjoy the decrease of "manual labor". Reminders, FaceTime calls, Messages, Searches, even opening apps are handled through Siri. I never thought the days of a handheld robot would come. ;)-----------------------------------Overall: This was a must-do upgrade for me. I was cross that my 4th gen. was already a year old, and after seeing iOS 6 on it, I knew it would have a slim chance of making it to iOS 7. So, I decided to get onto the 5th's cycle. That was the best choice for me. I was very glad to see so many improvements, and each one is worth it. If you have a lemon, please return and exchange it. Don't give up on this great device.=========================================================================================================Six Month Update (June 24th, 2013):-----------------------------------Speed: My fifth generation is still running as fast as ever, and does not show any signs of slowing down. There is hardly any boot time for apps, and even graphic-heavy apps play smoothly.Screen: The four-inch screen is just so much better for my fingers. I never accidentally press the top of the iPod when I wanted to touch the back button on apps. The screen is nice and bright, and I love the true-to-life colors. I only use a dry fabric (microfiber cloth, shirt, pillow, recliner arm) to wipe the screen. Never use water, or you'll rub off the oleophobic coating and the oils from your skin, which makes the screen easier to swipe and scroll. Also, the screen is very durable, so I can use my nails (they are very firm) to scrap off sticky whatnot, and not worry about leaving a scratch.Siri: After a few months hiatus, I decided to use Siri again. After taking off some contacts' information, I feel safe enough to use the service, and it works splendidly. I'm glad that I don't need to give her my info just to use it, as that's not my preference. I use her to text others when I'm busy and don't want to stop. Timers and reminders are good to use with her, because I have a million of them. Those are such a *pain* to make. . .Sturdiness: Keeping with the s-themed update, I have to talk about this iPod's sturdiness. Just good craftsmanship on Apple's part, seriously. In six months, I only have a side dent and a nick. The back is still nice and smooth, and I would rest it on any surface without a second thought. The loop is history (RIP), and this device is slippery without it. I bought a Belkin case a few months ago, and there has been no more damage to my device, so I'm happy all around.

The loop is history (RIP), and this device is slippery without it. I bought a Belkin case a few months ago, and there has been no more damage to my device, so I'm happy all around.

MODEL.Background: I bought my first <hl> iOS <hl> device in December 2011 (4th Gen. 32GB iPod touch - White).

This is mainly a review for previous fourth generation usersApple iPod touch 32 GB White (4th Generation) CURRENT MODELupgrading to the Fifth Generation iPod touchApple iPod touch 32GB White (5th Generation) NEWEST MODEL.Background: I bought my first <hl> iOS <hl> device in December 2011 (4th Gen. 32GB iPod touch - White). It was everything I wanted and needed. Anyways, I had watched the keynote in September 2012, thinking "No matter what, I'm keeping my old iPod touch". By the end of the presentation, I was drooling over the new one. So, I sold my 4th gen. and bought this one in December 2012. Best choice ever.Upgrades over Fourth Generation:Build: It is so sleek compared to the 4th gen. I love the feel, and the "squarer" sides make it easier to hold and press the volume and power buttons. It is slightly harder to rest in my hand (my pinky acts as the support), but I attribute that to not having a case. It will wobble the tiniest bit, but having the loop button pushed out when flat helps to stabilize it. Also, the loop strap gives me more control when using one hand (and that is still easy, if not better with my longer fingers).-----------------------------------Screen: The screen size on the 5th gen. is a huge difference from previous generations. A family member still has the 4th, and it amazes me how stocky it looks now. The new length is great, as I do not have to scroll as often, and I can see more of the screen when I am using both hands (and I have small hands). It is definitely more responsive, and no glitches like a previous reviewer stated. The home button is more responsive as well, so I have to learn not to press it so much. The colors are more true to life now, and the screen is not blue or yellow tinted, just normal. The black bars for non-iPod touch 5 (worded as iPhone 5 in the App Store) optimized apps remind me just how small the previous screen was. Most well-known apps are optimized.-----------------------------------Sound: The speaker is slightly louder than the 4th gen. I can officially retire my cereal bowls. However, I have found that having the speaker on the right is a bit of a disadvantage, because I tend to cover it in landscape (right-handed). No biggie. The new EarPods are amazing. They fit much better in my ears, so I can sleep without taking them out. The bass is greatly improved. I never knewRock With You (Single Version)had background bass!-----------------------------------Durability: The anodized aluminum is sturdier than the previous metal back of the 4th gen. The top corner of my iPod just "slapped" the side of a tile counter today, and I was very pleased to not find one nick, scratch, or dent. I have yet to see any scratches (I have the White/Silver), and the back is finger-print resistant for the most part. I managed to get some sticky candy cane residue on the screen and sides last week, but I was able to wipe it off with a cloth. Oh, and the loop is sturdy. I have not yet bought a case because of this, as it is super easy to slip on, and it actually helps me steady the iPod in my hand. I'll probably buy some more loops instead of a case. I hated ruining my 4th gen.'s look with a case, even if it was clear. The iPod can hang by the loop and not fall off, which is good in case I lose my grip. The loop is hard to pull off without loosening it (unlike a Wii Remote strap), and has soft fabric where it meets your arm, so I can tighten it without a loss of circulation.-----------------------------------Speed: So, I had to do a few speed tests with a spare 4th generation. The 5th gen. boots in about ten seconds from reset, the 4th gen. takes 20-30 seconds. I opened the App Store in 6 seconds on the 5th gen., while the 4th gen. took 9 seconds. The Camera app launched in 2 and 3 seconds, so hardly any difference there. Overall, the 5th gen. decreases wait time. I don't find myself tapping my fingers like I'm using a Windows PC. It's a click, then a 5 second wait for games, and a 1 second wait for other apps. Safari is also faster, and connects quickly. I find myself with hardly any startup time, which my 4th gen. could take 5-10 seconds. By the way, my iPod touch has YET to crash at all, not even on Safari (which was a leading crasher on my 4th gen.). Graphic-intensive games no longer freeze, and my iPod only warms slightly (the 4th gen. felt like fire).-----------------------------------Camera: This will be short. It's better, period. You get LED flash (Which is an outstanding flashlight with iHandy's app), HDR for enhancement, and less noise. The 4th gen. catches NOTHING at night, while I was able to take a VERY CLEAR semi-family photo with flash in a pitch black room. The video is smoother, and clearer, and the LED flashlight can be used in conjunction with the video camera. Great for nighttime missions.-----------------------------------Battery life: Please do not pay attention to the lemon reviews. I have great battery life. With no WiFi, I was able to get a whopping ten hours of video, photos, games, and etc. Now, my 4th gen. would have died three times over. The calibration of the battery stays accurate. My 4th gen. showed 40-50% after thirty minutes of gaming. The 5th gen. still showed 65-75%. Awesome in my book, as I like to game without being plugged up. These numbers are with Wifi connected. On weekdays, I get a full day (9 a.m.-10 p.m. | Safari, Stock apps, Plaintext) without needing to charge. Weekends are about five hours (Gaming, communication, videos).-----------------------------------Siri and Dictation: Once she learns your voice, Siri can take you far. She didn't really have problems with my accent (I have a moderate Southern accent, and people said Siri couldn't understand them), so the user feedback must be working. She did have problems with drop (thinking it was job), and check (thinking it was Chad), but those are probably the fault of my own tongue. Dictation actually seems to work better than Siri, and it is better than writing long texts (I'm very thorough). I also enjoy the decrease of "manual labor". Reminders, FaceTime calls, Messages, Searches, even opening apps are handled through Siri. I never thought the days of a handheld robot would come. ;)-----------------------------------Overall: This was a must-do upgrade for me. I was cross that my 4th gen. was already a year old, and after seeing iOS 6 on it, I knew it would have a slim chance of making it to iOS 7. So, I decided to get onto the 5th's cycle. That was the best choice for me. I was very glad to see so many improvements, and each one is worth it. If you have a lemon, please return and exchange it. Don't give up on this great device.=========================================================================================================Six Month Update (June 24th, 2013):-----------------------------------Speed: My fifth generation is still running as fast as ever, and does not show any signs of slowing down.

the reviews were generally very positive

question: How is the quality of review?, context: My previous router would continuously drop and have to be rebooted, so after reading all the reviews decided to purchase this Medialink. Although, I was not familiar with the brand the price was very good, and the reviews were generally very positive which is hard to find especially about routers. Well, the router is great, works as described, fast, good range, easy set up, strong internet single, does not drop or need to be rebooted... so glad I upgraded, this perfect product even if the blue lights are a tad bright. I can finally enjoy my internet access without frustration. I love this router!

the unit looked new

question: How is the unit?, context: I buy refurb items when ever I can. The reasoning is:1-The price is less2-Each refurb item has been tested and certified to work.3-Refurb items have the same accessories as "new" itemsApparently with this keyboard from TRG, items 2 and 3 are not the case. I received the keyboard in the expected time frame and the unit looked new. Missing was the extender, batteries and documentation. No real issue, however my problem is that this keyboard clearly was not tested.I saw a reference to having to hit the keys squarely in the middle for them to work, I saw another where the "c" key didn't work. On my "refurb" from TRG the :c, 5,0,h,b and n keys didn't work no matter where you stroke them. Clearly this keyboard is defective.I like the keyboard so I am going to buy a new one. I will upgrade or downgrade this review based on my next one.

dubbed

question: How was the operation?, context: Fantastic. I dubbed mine "The iPod killer". After fighting my old 3rd gen 8gb iPod nano for a few years. I decided enough was enough and I wanted something that I could use in whatever mannerism I wished to. So, i bought the 8gb clip+, a 16GB micro SD card and installed rockbox(a free third party firmware) onto the clip. I could not be happier with the results, people are constantly amazed when i tell them that i managed to build a 24GB mp3 player with custom firmware and in this size for only $75. It really can't be beat except for on battery life. However, I don't really see how you could ever kill the battery in one day and it would probably even be quite unlikely in two days. I charge mine and switch around music every few days without it ever dying on me.Pros-Portability-Clip-micro SD slot-High Capacity to begin with-ability to change firmwares and to use product as you wish (ex. click and drag files instead of using clunky programs)Cons- I can only think of one and that is the battery life. I could see the battery getting weak enough to where it might die within a long days use and that would be troublesome for me. But, as of right now I charge every few days and have no worries. I WILL update if i ever see any decline in battery life to the point of it bothering me.-I also would like to note that the text might prove kind of hard to see out of the box for people with any problems seeing smaller text. However, with the use of 3rd party firmware you can change the text to any size that you want. But, keep in mind it requires some effort to install the 3rd party firmware and even then the screen is still small, so larger text gets kind of cumbersome. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with problems seeing, but on the other hand I can't really think of many media players that I would. Definitely nothing that is even close to the size of this device.Summary: All in all I couldn't have bought any device close to the capacity as this one for as much as I paid for the device and the SD card. Throw in the fact that it is so small and that I can put on whatever firmware I want and just drag and drop my files and I'm simply astounded by this product.

I could not be happier with the results, people are constantly amazed when i tell them that i managed to build a 24GB mp3 player with custom firmware and in this size for only $75. It really can't be beat except for on battery life. However, I don't really see how you could ever kill the battery in one day and it would probably even be quite unlikely in two days. I charge mine and switch around music every few days without it ever dying on me.Pros-Portability-Clip-micro SD slot-High Capacity to begin with-ability to change firmwares and to use product as you wish (ex. click and drag files instead of using clunky programs)Cons- I can only think of one and that is the battery life. I could see the battery getting weak enough to where it might die within a long days use and that would be troublesome for me. But, as of right now I charge every few days and have no worries. I WILL update if i ever see any decline in battery life to the point of it bothering me.-I also would like to note that the text might prove kind of hard to see out of the box for people with any problems seeing smaller text. However, with the use of 3rd party firmware you can change the text to any size that you want. But, keep in mind it requires some effort to install the 3rd party firmware and even then the screen is still small, so larger text gets kind of cumbersome. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with problems seeing, but on the other hand I can't really think of many media players that I would. Definitely nothing that is even close to the size of this device.Summary: All in all I couldn't have bought any device close to the capacity as this one for as much as I paid for the device and the SD card. Throw in the fact that it is so small and that I can put on whatever firmware I want and just drag and drop my files and I'm simply astounded by this product.

saying sound was much better than from the ones that came with his Ipod

question: How is the sound?, context: I bought these for my son in mid July 2008. He was happy with the sound, saying sound was much better than from the ones that came with his Ipod. Unfortunately, the left ear bud just stopped working about a month ago(November). Many other reviewers seem to have had the same problem, so it's hard to recommend them for that reason. Otherwise, I would say the sound is pretty good for the price. They come with a one year warranty so I just emailed the manufacturer. Too soon to tell if I will get a replacement.**Update July 2009 - A couple of weeks after posting my original review, I received an email from the company apologizing for not responding to my email sooner and offering me a replacement. I received a new pair within a week orf responding to them and so far, they are still working well.

I used the replace remote button in the software

question: Which button we have to push to start the device?, context: I replaced a Harmony 720 with the Harmony One. Since the 720 was not going to be used any longer, I used the replace remote button in the software. It transferred the account over to the Harmony One and loaded all the settings, Almost. It did not transfer any of the additional buttons I had defined for the previous remote or the "favorite channels" settings. This meant a fair amount of reprogramming.Other than that, I really like the new remote. It does everything well, the buttons feel good, and I like most of the layout. The touch screen, while very responsive, cannot be used by touch, like the older 720 screen could. On the 720 there were 3 buttons on each side of the screen, and this was much easier to do by touch.The range of the IR signal seems to be very good, and I don't have to point it directly at the Home theater setup, like I had to do with the 720.Overall I think the Harmony One is a great remote.

This amazon basics cable

question: How is the connector?, context: This amazon basics cable is just perfect for me. Well made cable with gold plated ends and I feel it works just as well as the more expensive ones.The only 2 additional things I wish this cable could do are: Wish it was a little longer, such as 5ft, for it would then be the perfect length. Also I wish the cable was more flexible. On my work station I have many cables and devices.. and if this cable was more flexible I would have a better chance of hiding it.For the price and how well it works I do feel this is a great buy.
